- 1 tulip vase

Instructions
Hydrate The Tulips
- Start by filling a clean vase with room-temperature or cool water until it’s about one-third full.
- Carefully add your cut tulips to the vase, making sure that the stems are submerged in the water.
- Trim off any foliage or tulip leaves below the water line – this helps reduce bacteria buildup, which can contribute to wilting or drooping of flowers over time.
- Change out the water every few days, adding more fresh solution when you do so – this will help ensure that your tulips stay hydrated and healthy for longer!
Nourish The Tulips
- Add flower food to your water. You want to make sure whatever you use acts like food for the tulips but that it also kills any bacteria that is forming in the water.
Cut The Tulips
- Start by selecting the right tools. You’ll need sharp scissors or garden shears to cut through the tough stems of tulips.
- Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle, approximately one inch above where they begin to curve downwards.
How to Arrange Tulips In A Vase
- Immediately after cutting, place your tulips into a clean vase filled with room-temperature water – this helps reduce air bubbles from forming on their petals while they hydrate.
- Simply drop the tulips into a container and make sure that the flowers are arranged evenly around the vase. Let them fall evenly in whatever container you have them in, then just enjoy!

Notes
Cutting your tulips will help the flower absorb more water and increases the surface area of the stem, resulting in better hydration and longer-lasting blooms.
Make sure to keep your arrangement away from direct sunlight or drafts of wind for optimal freshness and longevity!
