To maximize your bloom time, cut your tulips when they are in the advanced bud stage. This is when the flower hasn’t quite emerged, but the bud is close to blooming and the color of the flower is visible. The flower will fully bloom in 1-4 days. You’ll see a pink or purplish color from within the mainly green bud, for example. Using a sharp knife, garden shears, or scissors, make your cut on the stem at angle. Cutting the plant at an angle keeps it healthy and promotes regrowth. You can cut your tulips to any desired length. For a standard vase size, cut the stem to around 12–18 in (30–46 cm). Only cut the stem of your tulip plants, rather than trimming the leaves as well. Make your cut towards the base of the plant, but ensure there are no leaves in the way. This keeps your plant healthy. Leaving the foliage in place helps the plant build up energy for next year. Fill up a vase of your choosing about ⅔ of cool water, and then place your tulips inside. You can fill up your vase with many tulips, or you can also add other flowers or floral accents.  Avoid adding paperwhite narcissus or daffodils to your tulip vase. These flowers exude a gummy sap that can harm your tulips. Using floral preservative is not necessary for tulips. If you want to use one, simply shake it into the water before you place your tulips into the vase. Use a knife to cut the end of the plant at an angle, removing about 1⁄16–1⁄8 in (0.16–0.32 cm) of the stem. A knife is the preferred tool to make the cut, as scissors can crush the stem and make it more difficult for the plant to absorb water. To maintain the health of your tulips, dump out the water every day. Then, fill your vase up with cool water. With proper care, your tulips can last 7-14 days in a vase.  This helps the plants absorb water and extend their vase life. Tulips stay fresh the longest in cold water, rather than warm or hot.
قلّم التوليب مع بداية ذبول الأزهار ولكن مع الاحتفاظ بلونها الجذاب. اقطع التوليب بزاوية على مسافة ١٫٣ سم أسفل الساق على الأقل. تجنب قطع الغطاء الورقي أثناء تقليم الأزهار. ضع أزهار التوليب في مزهرية الديكور المملوئة بالماء. اقطع عند قاعدة الساق باستمرار كل يوميْن إلى ثلاثة أيام. استبدل الماء في المزهرية يوميًا.
