The growing conditions for tulips are suitable for the temperature of the growing environment.

Tulip growing conditions

Tulips prefer sunny and sheltered places. They are suitable for growing in an environment with cool summers and warm winters. They can grow normally above 8°C and can generally withstand temperatures as low as minus 14°C. They are suitable for planting in slightly acidic sandy loam that is rich in humus, loose, fertile and well-drained.

Suitable temperature for tulips

The suitable growth temperature for tulips is between 15 and 25 degrees. It is a plant that can withstand a certain low temperature environment, but it is not heat-resistant, especially when the temperature exceeds 27 degrees, its growth will stagnate. Therefore, when caring for tulips in summer, it is necessary to cool it down, and the temperature in winter needs to be controlled above 9 degrees.

Tulip growing areas

Tulips bloom in spring from March to April. The suitable temperature for growth and flowering is 15-20 degrees, and the suitable temperature for flower bud differentiation is 20-25 degrees. The maximum temperature should not exceed 28 degrees. The Netherlands is the largest producer of tulips, but the origin of tulips is not the Netherlands. They were mainly introduced to Europe from Turkey, Xinjiang, my country and other places.

Tulip Planting Time

The best time to plant tulips is in autumn from September to October. Plant the bulbs in slightly acidic sandy soil, water them once, and place them in a sunny place for maintenance. Spray water after the soil is dry. It will take about 10 days for the roots to grow. They need to be moved indoors for maintenance during the low temperature period.

Benefits of tulip cultivation

The economic benefits of tulips are actually quite good, so this is also an important reason why turmeric attracts growers. The yield per acre can generally reach about 600 to 800 kilograms. So according to the current market price of turmeric, the total income per acre of turmeric is about 8,000 to 11,000.

After deducting the cost of planting, the economic benefit per mu can usually reach five to six thousand yuan. If it is sold as flowers, the income will not only be five to six thousand yuan, but should be able to rise to seven to eight thousand yuan per mu.
