What should you know about tulips?
What should you know about tulips? You have noticed that tulips are often sold throughout pugés and are not visible at all in arranged bouquets, where they would be supplemented by other types of flowers and accompanying greenery. It is not a coincidence and it is definitely not just about aesthetics.
Of course, the tulips are very suited in a large pugét, but the reason not to mix them with other cut flowers is different. Their stems exclude slime, which can inappropriately affect other greenery.
And what next? Take care of tulips as any other cut flowers. After arriving home, cut the ends of the stems, but not at an angle of 45 degrees, as it is done with other flowers. Tulips are suitable for a straight cut. The stems will get a new clean and larger cut, which will be able to better receive nutrients and water.
How to arrange to withstand tulips longer?
Tulips tend to be folded with a looking stems. Therefore, choose them best a vase that will be higher and keep them with them. If the stems are already bending and falling on all sides, soak in the water and place it on a piece of wrapping or newspaper paper. It is important that the sheet of paper is higher than the tulip stems. Subsequently, the whole bouquet is wrapped in a cloth and then the paper so that the cloths and paper break through a narrow tube that will clutch the bouquet along the entire length of the stem. This straightens the stems again and lasts longer. Leave the tulips in paper for two to three hours or overnight.
You can add nutrition to the tulips to the water in the weight. If you do not have it, you can drop vinegar, lemon juice, bleach or throw a copper coin. The point is to minimize the growth of bacteria and eyelashes in water, which would lead to faster wilting. Change the water every other day. While the cut flowers generally suit lukewarm water, tulips love ice cold. You can even add ice cubes.
Tulips also suffer from bubbles in the stem over time, thanks to which they cannot receive moisture or nutrients. It is therefore recommended to pierce each stem separately through a thin needle just below the flower and then place it in a vase.
For example, blogger Wendy of Thekwendyhome.com tested these several tricks in a time -lapse video. It was the needle trick that proved to be the best way to keep tulips for longer nice and alive.
