Tulips have a dancing habit and the stem can bend or straighten several times throughout the day. Of some varieties the stem will tend to bend at the neck of the vase, if you want it to be straighter choose a taller vase. 

​

Tulips are very resistant flowers without water, if when they arrive someone has a soft stem don't worry, cut the stem two centimeters and put it in fresh water, look here how to do. If you want them to stay straight leave them inside the packaging paper during the hydration time. In less than 2 hours they will be shiny again and you can discard them.​

​

The lowest outer leaf on the stem may arrive a little bruised — it’s their natural protection during travel. Gently pull it down and remove it before placing your tulips in the vase.

​

Peony tulips might need a bit more encouragement to open fully. If they’re still in bud after 2–3 days, move them to a brighter spot in your home and gently coax open the petals — you’ll see them bloom beautifully.​
