After you cut a tulip flower off of the plant, the leaves start to send nutrients back to the bulb to store for next year's flower. If you cut the leaves off along with the flower, your tulips will continually grow smaller each year. If you leave the stem and let it go to seed, they will also grow smaller next year.

How do we get wisteria to flower that has been growing for 5 years?

One of the reason may related with the pruning strategy. Pruning at the wrong time of year or in the wrong way can literally cut off dormant flower buds; the coming year's flower display. Hard pruning stimulates leafy growth instead of flowers, just because of this, keep pruning to a minimum if flowering is not dense.

Yes, if you just cut it, rather than pull it up. It is in the parsley family and grows like grass. Of course, you need to be growing it in the proper climate zone for it to survive. If you are, then you should have no problems cutting it and it growing back.


Can a cut flower live in orange juice and make another flower on the cut flower?

A cut flower may be able to live for a very short time in orange juice. But the sugar that provides the energy the flower needs will quickly begin to also provide a source of nutrients to bacteria. As they grow in the water, they will clog the stem of the flower, causing it to then wilt because it can no longer intake the water it needs. This is why you should use only professional flower food in the vases of cut flowers. You can get packets of flower food from your florist. A new flower can't grow from a cut-flower stem. But if a stem has a bud on it, as well as an open flower, depending on the type of flower, the bud may open as well.
