Many people love these first spring flowers - tulips, which bring joy, beauty and festive mood to the atmosphere of our home with their cheerful colors. To keep this holiday longer, proper care is required for the flowers.
But in order for bulbous tulips to stand in a vase longer, the rules for caring for them are completely different than, for example, for roses.
Having received a fragrant composition as a gift, you want to admire its natural beauty, freshness and original appearance for a longer time. It is possible to extend the life of a bouquet of tulips by adhering to certain conditions. Flowers should not be brought into a warm room from the cold, as they must gradually get used to the temperature regime. If the tulips are wrapped in thick paper, do not immediately unfold them. After the flowers have absorbed the required amount of moisture, they can be deployed.
Do not forget that the tulip buds will open in the water, so there should be enough space in the vase for the bouquet. At this time, it is undesirable to turn the vase in different directions until the buds fully open.
The leaves that will be in the water should be removed from the smooth stems so that they do not rot. In addition, you can add an antiseptic – 1 tablet of aspirin, 1 tablet of aspirin per liter of water or a couple of crystals of potassium permanganate. Fragile stems of spring flowers are updated with oblique cuts. To disinfect the water and give the flowers a more intense color, you can add a sprig of thuja to the bouquet.
The vase is filled with water at room temperature, preferably distilled, rainwater or thawed. To prolong the life of cut flowers, dissolved sugar is added to the water, at the rate of 30g per 1 liter of water. You can add special supplements to the water, which are sold in flower shops. These concentrates nourish and fertilize plants, prolonging their life. It is necessary to change the water in the vase daily.
Usually flower arrangements become a decorative decoration of any interior, a living energy of the room that needs to be maintained. Caring for cut tulips requires constant addition of water to the vase, as these plants are very moisture-loving and constantly absorb a large amount of it.
Elegant and delicate flowers do not like direct sunlight, dry hot rooms, closely located heat sources, drafts. Much longer you can enjoy a bouquet that is fragrant in a shaded cool place.
Forming a bouquet of colorful tulips, one should not forget that these delicate spring flowers do not tolerate the neighborhood with other representatives of flora, especially "antagonists" - lilies of the valley, orchids, lilies, daffodils, roses. They are oppressed by the presence of proud and strong neighbors.
Important! If the temperature is below zero outside, and you buy tulips "from the car", then, despite the fact that they will look great when you bring them home, they will start to wither quickly enough. The fact is that subzero temperatures are contraindicated for all flowers, in other words, frozen flowers will not be stored.
As you understand, it is not so difficult to keep cut tulips fresh. It is much more important to always give flowers to your loved ones. And they will cope with how to prolong their lives. However, you can always buy or order tulips at Millionroz
