How to Make Tulips Stand Up Straight
Use Budding and Flowering Branches
Be Mindful of The Flowers You Use
01.
First, take a straight pin or needle and poke a hole at the base of the flower. The hole allows air to escape, which then expedites water flow. Another trick that helps to keep tulips from drooping is to cut the stems at a 45 degree angle with clean scissors or sheers. Then, put a penny in the water. Just keep in mind that this hack can shorten the lifespan of your flower arrangement.

As with the tulips (and pretty much any spring flower arrangement), be sure to cut the ends at a 45-degree angle. This allows the greatest surface area for the branch to absorb water! You can also use clippers to cut vertically up the stem an inch or so to increase surface area even more. And lastly, make sure to continue to trim the stems throughout the duration of the centerpiece.

As much as I love combining different types of flowers, sometimes they shouldn’t share a vase! And sometimes, they just need a bit of extra effort. For example, after being cut, daffodils have a slime that contaminates the water and can affect other flowers in the arrangement.
