How to grow tulips

1. If you want to grow tulips, the first step is to buy tulip bulbs. When choosing bulbs, you should choose those with relatively complete and smooth appearance. After buying them and bringing them home, put them in the refrigerator for low-temperature treatment, and take them out after two months before planting.

2. When planting tulips, it is best to choose peat soil. This kind of soil is particularly beneficial to the survival and growth of tulips. When planting, the pointed end of the bulb should be facing upwards, and the flat side should be facing to one side. In this way, the tulips grown will not only have neat leaves, but also have a particularly beautiful overall appearance.

3. After planting the bulbs, you can cover them with soil, use Xianfeidan as base fertilizer, and then water them with insufficient water, and then wait for them to grow. When the tulips sprout new buds, place them in a place with sufficient light and add water from time to time.

4. When planting tulips, it is best to use long-acting fertilizers to avoid the impact of repeated fertilization on its growth. In addition, after the tulips bloom, they must be moved to a cool place so that they can bloom longer. In addition, the amount of water should also be reduced during the flowering period of the tulips.

5. After the tulips wither, timely management is also required. The most important thing is to move them to a place where the sun can shine and take good care of them. Do not let their leaves dry out. Only in this way can new bulbs grow in the pots. By June of the following year, new bulbs will have grown. At this time, the old bulbs will have shrunk and can no longer grow, so new bulbs can be used for planting.
