Tulips have one problem - they quickly wilt after being cut and placed in a vase.

Therefore, it is worth considering a few tips that will help tulips stay fresh for a long time.

Which vase to choose

When choosing a vase for tulips, preference should be given to narrow and tall vases.

The stems should always be in a vertical position; this rule can be called key.

Preparing the stems

Full preparation is also necessary, and it is not at all difficult to do.

It is enough to cut the stems at an angle. Thanks to such pruning, the stems will absorb water better, and this will have a positive effect on their "life" in the vase.

They should not stand in the sun.

Tulips like a cool place, so it is better to place the vase with flowers in a moderately lit place. If the sun constantly shines on them, the flowers will quickly evaporate.

Regular water changes

To make flowers last longer, you need to regularly change the water in the vase, first rinsing the vase.

This will help prevent the growth of bacteria and improve the quality of the water that the flower stems absorb.

Using conditioner for flowers

You can also use special products that prevent the development of bacteria.

It is worth noting that flowers quickly deteriorate precisely because of bacteria that appear in the water.

The most interesting thing is that you can make such a remedy yourself; now you can find dozens of interesting recipes that will be a revelation for most.
