After you have picked up your favourite tulips and crossed the threshold of your home, it's worth following a few tips that will easily and quickly extend their life expectancy.
The first step is to use a sharp knife or a pair of scissors to cut the base of the stem sideways so that it can better absorb the water in the flowerpot. Then remove the leaves that are close to the base of the stem and place them in the vase you have chosen. The water you have put in the flowerpot should reach about halfway up the stem of each tulip. This water should be replenished every two days and you should also cut the base of the shoot sideways each time you replenish the water.
