2. How to care for tulips after they bloom

1. Pruning: Every year after flowering, you need to prune and cut off the remaining flowers. Specifically, you can directly cut off the two or three centimeters below the flowers or the base of the flower branches. It should also be used together with dead leaves, yellow leaves, and unhealthy branches to save nutrients and help it recover better.

2. Pilling: Wait for all the parts on the ground to wither. The best pilling treatment can usually be done in June. Remove the bulbs from the soil and prune the roots appropriately. After treatment, place the wound in a cool place to dry, and then move it to dry sand for sand hiding. Be careful not to get exposed to rain during this period, otherwise the bulbs will rot. If you are in the northern region, most of the bulbs are buried deeply, and it doesn't matter if they don't bulb.

3. Replanting: Wait until the temperature cools down in autumn. Take out the bulbs and replant them. Check the status of the bulbs before planting. If they are healthy, just put them into potting soil.
