Are these tips suitable for beginners?
Yes, these tips are excellent for beginners as they simplify the process of creating buttercream flowers with just one squeeze.
Can I use these tips for more than just flowers?

How should I clean the tips after use?

What brand are these piping tips?

Troubleshooting
Buttercream flowers are not forming correctly (e.g., flattened, misshapen)
Ensure your buttercream is at a medium consistency. If it's too soft, chill it slightly. If it's too stiff, add a tiny bit more liquid (milk or water) and mix well.
Tip is difficult to attach to the piping bag
Ensure you are using a standard 16" disposable decorating bag. Trim the tip of the bag to an appropriate size for the nozzle to fit snugly without gaps.
Difficulty in getting a clean release of the flower from the tip
Make sure the tip is clean and free of dried icing. A slight twist of the piping bag as you pull away can help create a cleaner finish.
