To ensure that tulips delight you for as long as possible, the florist provided several useful recommendations. Firstly, the flowers should be placed in cold water and the water should be refreshed daily, maintaining the liquid level at 5–7 cm. Additionally, it is important to regularly trim the stems by 1–2 cm every two days. These simple actions will help preserve the freshness of the tulips, as explained by the specialist to the Izvestia agency.
The choice of tulips also plays a significant role in their longevity. When purchasing, pay attention to the bud: it should be firm, elastic, and closed, without signs of wilting or bruising. Such a flower is at an early stage of blooming and will gradually open up in home conditions. If the bud is already soft and widely open, it means the flower has reached its peak and will wilt quickly.
"Some varieties of tulips can boast a long lifespan. For example, yellow tulips can please the eye for more than a week, as their buds hardly open. They continue to grow, reaching their maximum, and only then begin to wilt," the florist added.
