Always place your flowers in a suitable vase.

Which vase for which flowers? A beautiful bouquet or a bunch of flowers brightens up any room. They give your home a fresh, cozy look and smell good too. But how do you choose the right vase for this? Just as you have many different types of flowers, there are many different types of vases. To make your flowers stand out perfectly, choose the vase that best suits them. Which vase do you use for roses, for example? And which vase for tulips? After reading this blog you will know exactly which vase is suitable for which flowers.

Choose the material of your vase

First you think about the material of your vase. You are always in the right place with a glass vase. You can see the entire bouquet, the vase is easy to clean and the material is not sensitive to scratches. Do you want something different? Then take into account extra cleaning time. Crystal or ceramic vases, for example, are more difficult to keep clean. Furthermore, plastic is not very resistant to acidic vase water. A plastic vase therefore needs cleaning more often. We list the different vase types.

Floor vases

Floor vases are often somewhat larger than other vase types and are therefore very suitable for flowers with long stems, such as sunflowers, lilies and gladioli. Branches with delicate buds also come into their own in a floor vase. Another advantage of this type of vase? It is ideal as an eye-catcher in your living room, for example next to your sofa, door or fireplace.

Tall vases

Wondering which vase is suitable for roses? Roses look beautiful in a tall vase. In addition, tall vases are also suitable for flowers with a long stem. This type of vase usually has a narrower opening, which makes it nice to place just a few flowers here. This way every flower comes into its own! For example, you have tall vases in bottle shape or in various special, playful shapes.

Hints

  1. Use a clean vase
  2. Do not place your flowers in the sun or in a draught
  3. Use flower food, flowers like this and it keeps the water clean

Small vases

With small vases you can go in all directions. For example, combine different styles of vases or opt for several flower types in one vase. Very nice as a table decoration! Need inspiration for which flower types to put in a small vase? Go for a bouquet of wild flowers, pick some cheerful dandelions yourself or put a gerbera in it.

Medium vases

Many people wonder which vase is ideal for tulips. This popular type of flower can be found in different colors and is therefore always a nice addition to your interior. For tulips and other cut flowers, choose a vase with a large opening that is not too high. For example, take a look at a beautiful ball vase or a medium-high vase in a cylindrical shape.
