Long Life Tulips

Curious about the unique characteristics of Bloomaker hydroponically grown tulips? Watch this insightful video to discover the innovative techniques that set hydroponically grown tulips apart from the potted tulips.

Long Life Tulips are real attention getters as centrepieces on a table or anywhere in the house or office for that matter.

Tulips, with their vibrant colors and elegant shapes, have long been a favorite among flower enthusiasts. However, a common drawback of these beautiful blooms is their relatively short lifespan, especially when cut from their bulbs.

This is where Bloomaker’s “Long Life Tulips” come into play, offering a longer-lasting alternative to traditional cut tulips. But what makes Bloomaker’s tulips last longer? The answer lies in the innovative use of hydroponic technology.

 

Bloomaker has harnessed this hydroponic technology to produce their “Long Life Tulips.” These tulips are not separated from their bulbs, allowing them to bloom and remain vibrant for much longer than their cut counterparts. This method respects and optimizes the tulip’s natural growth process, leading to longer-lasting beauty in homes and offices.

Our tulip bulbs are born in the world-famous fields of Holland and nurtured by us in the U.S.A. These tulip flowers come in a variety of fresh colors. Our patented hydroponic growing method allows them to thrive with very little care needed.

Understanding Tulip Biology

At the heart of every tulip is its bulb - a storage unit brimming with nutrients essential for the flower’s growth and development. These bulbs are like a packed lunchbox, containing all the necessary sustenance for the tulip to complete its life cycle. When tulips are cut from these bulbs, they are essentially severed from their main source of nourishment.

The Shortcomings of Cut Tulips

Traditional cut tulips are removed from their life-sustaining bulbs, which drastically shortens their lifespan. Once cut, these flowers rely solely on the limited nutrients absorbed through their stems, which can only sustain them for a brief period. This is why cut tulips typically adorn vases for only a few days before wilting.

The Hydroponic Advantage

Hydroponics, the art of growing plants without soil, offers a groundbreaking solution. By nurturing tulips hydroponically and keeping them attached to their bulbs, the flowers maintain continuous access to their natural source of nutrition. This method ensures that the tulips have everything they need to thrive for an extended period.

Studies and observations suggest a stark difference in the lifespan of hydroponically grown tulips versus traditional cut flowers. While cut tulips may last for a mere few days, Bloomaker’s “Long Life Tulips” can remain fresh and vivid for significantly longer, offering more value and enjoyment to the consumer.

The longevity of Bloomaker’s “Long Life Tulips” is a testament to the power of innovative gardening techniques like hydroponics. By keeping the tulips attached to their bulbs, Bloomaker ensures that these flowers can be enjoyed for a much longer time than traditionally cut tulips. This approach not only enhances the consumer experience but also reflects a deeper understanding and respect for plant biology.
