This way they stay fresh longer

First cut - then adjust - that's how it works

Before you put tulips in the water, cut the flower stem. Thanks to this measure, the conduction pathways are exposed so that water and nutrients can be transported unhindered to the bloom. How to do it right:

• Cut a small piece off the end of the stem with a sharp, clean knife
• Optionally straight or inclined cut
• First remove any white tissue that may be present and then cut a piece about 0.5 cm in size

Then remove any superfluous leaves. One or two copies add to the jewelry value. Any foliage on the stem costs the flower too much energy, which is then not available to maintain the flower.

Top up with fresh water every day

Tulips in the vase are very thirsty. Therefore, check the water level daily if necessary fresh water to replenish. Warm water is not suitable for this as it causes the flowers to wither more quickly. With cold water, the signs of spring stay crisp and fresh for much longer.

Trim if necessary

Take a look at the ends of the handle at the same time. In the case of brown discolouration, the green tissue should be cut again.

In tall vases, tulips keep their composure

So that your tulips with their heads held high spread a spring atmosphere in the house, they are placed in a slim, tall glass vase. Here the flowers can lean against when the open flower head increases in weight. A lasciviously inclined tulip blossom may appear decorative - in this position, however, the withering progresses more rapidly. The transparent material also makes it easier to check the water requirement on a daily basis.
