1. Prepare a vessel for flowers. Cut tulips need to be placed in clean water, so choose a suitable vessel. It is desirable that it be tall and narrow so that the stems do not float in the water. Also make sure that the vessel is clean, without any residue of previous colors.

2. Trim the stems correctly. If necessary, trim the stems of the tulips 2-3 centimeters at a 45-degree angle. This will allow better absorption of water and extend the life of the flowers.

3. Use warm water. For tulips, it is best to use warm water, about 30-35 degrees Celsius. You can also add special additives to the water that nourish the flowers.

4. Remove excess leaves. Leaves on the stems of tulips can cause water rot and hasten the withering of flowers. Therefore, it is recommended to remove all excess leaves that may be in the water.

5. Avoid sunlight and drafts. Tulips do not like bright sun and drafts. Therefore, they must be placed in a cool place, protected from direct sunlight and drafts.

Caring for cut tulips will preserve their beauty and freshness for a long period of time. Follow these simple tips and enjoy vibrant and colorful colors for longer!
