When and how to plant tulips

Tulip Planting Time

Tulips are usually planted in autumn. After blooming in spring, they will enter a dormant state when the temperature rises in summer. The branches and leaves will gradually wither, and after the above-ground parts die, the bulbs can be preserved and sown in autumn.

How to grow tulips

1. Bulb treatment: In order to make tulips germinate better, the bulbs need to be processed in advance. They should be soaked in a carbendazim solution for effective disinfection, and some gibberellins should also be applied to promote plant development.

2. Pot soil configuration: When planting tulip plants, you need to use loose, fertile, well-drained soil, which is more beneficial for the growth of the roots. It is best to use acidic soil, which is conducive to the development of the plants.

3. Potting and maintenance: After preparing the bulbs, you can start planting. After digging a hole on the surface of the soil, you can bury the bulbs 1 cm deep and cover them with soil. Note that the top buds must be exposed.

Tulip planting precautions

When planting tulips, you need to pay attention to keeping the temperature between 5-10 degrees and having a good ventilation environment. This is more beneficial for its growth. You should also water it appropriately to keep the soil moist.
