March 8 is just around the corner, and all men will be giving women flowers. On this day, tulips are in special demand, and everyone wants the flowers to stand in a vase as long as possible.

There are four ways to prolong the life of spring flowers. They say that they will last as fresh for up to 2 weeks, and the buds will not fall apart.

First, the cut location

You need to disassemble the bouquet and make an even cut on each stem. In this case, the flower will last longer and will not lose its beauty.

Secondly, temperature

Flowers are best stored in a cool or even cold room. Do not pour warm water into the vase or place it near heating devices. Some even add ice cubes to cold water.

Thirdly, sugar

Everyone knows the advice when you need to add sugar or aspirin to the water for flowers. For 1 liter of water, add 1 teaspoon of sugar or 1 tablet of aspirin.

Fourth, change the water

The water should not only be cold, but also fresh. It is advisable to replace it every day, and refresh the cut on the stem by a couple of millimeters every 1-2 days.

And lastly. At night, while everyone is asleep, hide the vase of flowers in the refrigerator or take it to the balcony (glazed - at sub-zero temperatures the tulips will definitely freeze).

By following these simple tips, you can preserve flowers for as long as possible, with the buds still intact.
