To ensure that tulips delight with their blooming for as long as possible, florists recommend following a few simple guidelines. First, flowers should be placed in cold water and the water should be changed daily. The optimal water level in the vase is 5–7 cm. It is also important to trim the stems by 1–2 cm every two days to ensure better moisture absorption. These tips were shared by an expert in an interview with the Izvestia agency.
The expert emphasized that the choice of tulips also plays a key role in their longevity. When purchasing, one should pay attention to the condition of the bud: it should be firm, elastic, and closed, without signs of wilting or damage. Such tulips are at the initial stage of opening and will bloom in home conditions. In contrast, soft and widely opened buds indicate that the flower has already reached its peak and will not last long.
“Some varieties of tulips can boast a long lifespan. For example, yellow tulips can stay in a vase for more than a week, as their buds do not fully open. These flowers continue to grow, reaching their maximum size, and only then begin to wilt,” the specialist added.
