Care Guide for Fresh-Cut Flowers

Fresh cut tulips have special care requirements. Mastering the following points can effectively extend their vase life:

Shallow Water Care: Tulips do not like deep water. Keep the vase water level at 5–8 cm, which is ideal. Water that is too deep can easily cause the stem near the bulb to rot.

Straight Cut, Not Angled: Cut the stems straight across, not at an angle. Use a sharp knife or floral shear to avoid crushing the stem’s water-conducting vessels.

Warm-Water Rehydration: Freshly harvested tulip stems contain a natural gelatinous blockage. Soak the stems in warm water (around 35°C) for 2 hours, then change to fresh water. This can noticeably extend how long they stay upright.

Add Sugar or Vitamin B1: When changing the water, add a pinch of white sugar or a vitamin B1 tablet. This can effectively extend how long the stems stay upright.

Keep Them Upright: After trimming, immediately wrap the entire bunch tightly in paper and stand it upright in shallow water for two hours. This helps keep the stems upright.

Change Water Daily: Use cool water and change it every day. At room temperature, change the water daily and re-trim 1 cm from the stems.

Avoid Ethylene Sources: Tulips are sensitive to ethylene. Near ripe fruit or in a smoky environment, the petal edges will quickly become scorched and wilt prematurely.

Placement Environment: The ideal holding temperature is 2–8°C. Avoid direct air-conditioning airflow and direct sunlight. Rotate the vase once a day to help the stems stay straight and receive even light.

Keep Away from Daffodils: Do not arrange tulips in the same vase as daffodils.
