Did you know that tulips are harvested while they are still closed? I pick my tulips while they are just starting to show some color. This gives them the longest possible vase life.
Some tips for when you buy tulips as cut flowers:
▪️Trim the ends of your stems when you get them home. Trim them at an angle so they can absorb more water.
▪️Keep the wrapping on the flowers for their first few hours in the vase. This helps keep the stems stay straight as they rehydrate.
▪️Change the water daily and keep the water cool. You can drop an ice cube in to cool it off. This will prolong their case life.
▪️Keep them away from heat sources and direct sunlight. These will cause the tulips to open faster.
Freshly cut tulips last around 7 days in the vase with proper care🌷
