The tips that we offer this time will come in handy especially for those women who have received as a gift tulips. The flowers, which delight us every year with their varied flowers, are charming a gift for women's day, but at the same time they apply to harbingers of spring.

Freshly cut tulips can last in a vase of water for up to 10 days. If you don't take care of them properly, it may happen that they will 'leave' you after only a day or two. If you want the tulips in the vase to stay fresh for up to 10 days, we recommend that follow these 9 steps:

• Before placing the flowers in the vase, wrap the tips of their stems with wet paper towels. The tulips will thus receive some additional moisture that they need to live.
• With tweezers or scissors shorten the stems by about a centimeter in length. This will allow the tulips to absorb water better.
• Choose a vase, whose height represents about 50 % the height of tulips. Even if the flowers continue to grow, they will stand upright and not start to tilt to all sides.

• Wash the vase with soap and then her rinse thoroughly. Make sure it is completely clean before use.
• Fill the vase with cold water. If you soak tulips in warm water, they will wither very quickly.
• Add to water flower preservative, which can be obtained from a flower shop and ensures that the flowers absorb water. It provides the plant with food that it can no longer produce on its own.
• Remove the paper towels and place the tulips one by one in the vase. Sort them according to your preferences.
• Place the vase on a cool place to which direct sunlight does not have access. Tulips cannot withstand heat, so if you place them on a windowsill, they will soon wither.
• A vase of water fill almost to the top, as tulips require a large amount of water.
