Set tulips correctly - so you do not hang your head
As cut flowers, tulips are much more demanding than their colleagues in the garden. So that the colorful Graces do not tend sadly after a few days, they are professionally adjusted and maintained. We will tell you how that works.
Cut first - then adjust - that's how it works
Before placing tulips in the water, cut the flower stem. Thanks to this measure, the pathways are free, so that water and nutrients can be transported unhindered to flowering. How to do it right:
Afterwards please remove all unnecessary sheets. One or two copies increase the jewelry value. In addition, leaves on the stem cost the flower too much energy, which is then not available for the maintenance of flowering.
Fill up fresh water daily
Tulips in the vase are very thirsty. Check the water level daily to refill with fresh water if necessary. Hot water is not suitable for this because it makes the flowers wither faster. With cold water, the spring messengers stay crispier-fresh for much longer.
Cut if necessary
At the same time take a look at the stalk ends. For brown discolorations should be cut to the green tissue.
In tall vases tulips keep their attitude
So that your tulips raised high head spread in the house spring atmosphere, they are set in a slim, tall glass vase. Here the flowers can lean against when the opened flower head increases in weight. A lascivious tulip blossom may seem decorative - but in this attitude the wilt advances more quickly. The transparent material also facilitates daily control of water requirements.
Tips
Tulips from their own garden will remain in the vase for a long time a feast for the eyes, if they are cut early. Choose flowers with tightly closed heads that have already taken on a touch of color. To judge the freshness of tulips in the shop, pick up a bouquet. Fresh from the tulip field, the flowers make a squeaky noise.
