When is the best time to plant tulips?

October to November: Use a 10-20 cm diameter flower pot for planting bulbs. Place a 3 cm thick charcoal residue, brick and stone particles, ceramsite, etc. at the bottom of the pot as a drainage layer, and add loose and fertile neutral soil. Note that you must use new soil. Do not use old soil that has been used to plant lilies and bulbous flowers to prevent infection by viruses, nematodes, etc. Plant 1 to 2 bulbs per pot with a diameter of 10 to 15 cm, and 3 to 5 bulbs per pot with a diameter of 18 to 20 cm. When planting, the top of the bulb should be flush with the soil surface. Place it in a shaded place for 3 to 5 days after planting, and place it outdoors in a cool place after watering thoroughly. Water it when the surface of the pot soil is dry below 1 cm.

How to grow tulips

1. Prepare soil by mixing in a plant food formulated for spring flowering bulbs such as tulips and daffodils.

2. Dig a hole that is roughly the same size as the pot dirt.

3. Remove the tulip from the pot and place it in the hole. Try to get as much dirt from the pot into the hole as possible. The less the tulips are disturbed, the healthier they will grow.

4. Press the dirt around the flower so it is supported, then water thoroughly. Water when the soil becomes dry, but do not allow standing water to develop as this can cause the bulb to rot.

5. Allow the plant's leaves and stems to yellow and wilt before attempting to move or dig up the tulip bulbs. This allows the bulbs to absorb the nutrients they need to bloom next year.
