How to grow tulips indoors

1. Soil

When growing tulips indoors, the potting soil can be mixed with leaf mold, sandy soil and decomposed fertilizer in a ratio of six to three to one. At the same time, you should choose a flowerpot with a diameter of about 20 cm. Three types of tulips can be planted on each plant. After the tulips sprout out of the soil, apply a thin liquid fertilizer every ten days or so, and supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before the buds appear and bloom. Keep the potting soil moist at ordinary times and place it in a sunny place for maintenance.

2. Temperature

Temperature is also very important when growing tulips indoors. Tulips like warmth in winter and coolness in summer. They grow fastest when the outside temperature is between 9 and 13 degrees. Tulips are relatively cold-resistant. As long as the temperature in winter does not exceed minus 30 degrees, they will not die. However, tulips are afraid of high temperatures. In the hot summer, they must be moved to a cool environment for maintenance.

3. Lighting

When growing tulips indoors, light conditions are also very important. It is a plant that likes strong light, and light is an important factor affecting its flowering. When people grow tulips, they should ensure that the tulips are exposed to direct sunlight for no less than eight hours a day, so that the tulips can accumulate more photosynthetic products, which will allow the plants to grow well and ensure that the flowers bloom as scheduled.

4. Disease prevention and control

When growing tulips indoors, you should also pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases. Stem rot, soft rot, color breakage and blind bud disease are also common diseases. After they occur, you can spray them with drugs in time, and pay attention to maintaining good ventilation conditions.
