4. Timely fertilization

To raise tulips, you must use loose and fertile soil. Good drainage and air permeability are particularly important, which is beneficial to the breathing of the roots. Make sure there is enough light at ordinary times, but provide adequate shade when they first sprout. The amount of water should be controlled in daily watering, and do not water too much to avoid root rot. In addition, proper fertilization should be done during the growth period, and compound fertilizer should be added 3-4 times a month.

1. Loose soil

Tulips are bulbous plants, and the bulbs are afraid of humid environments, so the soil must be soft and have good drainage. It is usually prepared with a mixture of garden soil, leaf humus soil and sand, which can provide a good growing environment. To provide nutrients, chicken manure or compost can also be added to the soil as a base fertilizer.

2. Sufficient light

Tulips It is a long-day flower. It cannot grow without sufficient light. It should be placed in a sunny place. If there is insufficient light, the plant will become thin, with long stems and small flowers, which will also cause it to be sterile. It should be noted that the bulbs should not be exposed to light when they have just sprouted, so as not to inhibit the development of the plants.

3. Watering control

Tulips have a relatively high demand for water a week after they are planted, so they need to be watered enough. When it germinates, the water requirement will be reduced, and the amount of water must be controlled. Especially during the flowering period, watering should not be too much, usually in small amounts and many times. If the environment is too dry, the growth rate of the plants will slow down. Usually the ambient humidity should be kept at about 80%.

Four. Timely fertilization

In addition to In addition to applying base fertilizer when potting tulips, appropriate top dressing should also be applied during the growth process. The first is to apply liquid fertilizer after two leaves grow. Usually 1-2 times is enough. During its peak growing season, compound fertilizer should be applied 3-4 times a month to fully supplement nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements, but fertilizer should be stopped during the flowering period. After the flowers fade, add potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1-2 times.
