LE BLOG MADEMOISELLE: TULIPS: THE FLOWER OF THE SEASON

SNEAKPEEK INTO MY HOME - FOR MORE FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM !

I love tulips and this is the perfect season !! They look so fierce and delicate at the same time ! But like you, I want to them to stay beautiful for a long time and guess whatm they are many ways to achieve this ! I bought the one above 3 days ago and they still look as fresh as the first day ! (happy face)
Let me share with you the best trick to keep them from drooping too fast !

Before you drop them into the vase you need to poke a hole on the stem just below the flower head with a needle or a safety pin or even a tooth pick.
As soon as the flowers are in the water air bubbles will rise up the stem. Once the air bubble is inside it blocks the water from reaching the flower head. As a result the flower doesn’t get the required amount of water and starts drooping. The hole next to the flower head acts as exit for the air bubble, thereby keeping the hollow stem block free ! Et voilà ! :)
