At Valeria Blume, online florist in Granada, we want to help you enjoy your flowers for as long as possible. Here we explain how much water each type of flower needs and how often to change it, using the most common flowers.

🌷 Tulips

Tulips are delicate and keep growing even after being cut.

How much water they need: Little water (about 1/3 of the vase)
