Tulips are mostly planted in autumn. Generally, plants bloom in spring and enter a dormant state in summer. At this time, the bulbs need to be taken out, placed in a cool place, and replanted in autumn. Before planting, soak it in carbendazim solution for disinfection. Then prepare garden soil, leaf humus soil and river sand as the substrate, bury the bulbs inside, water them appropriately and maintain good ventilation.

1. Planting time

1. Planting time

Tulips are usually planted in autumn. After the plant blooms in spring, it will enter a dormant state due to high temperatures in summer. Then the branches and leaves will gradually wither. After the above-ground part has completely withered, the bulbs can be taken out and stored. Usually, they need to be placed in a place with lower temperatures and kept dry at the same time, and then sown in autumn.

2. Bulb processing

Before you prepare to sow, you need to treat the seed bulbs first so that they can germinate better and also help with subsequent growth. Prepare a solution of carbendazim or formalin and soak the seeds in it. This can effectively disinfect the bulbs and prevent them from contracting diseases. In addition, you can also add a little gibberellin to promote plant development.

3. Pot soil preparation

Planting tulips requires loose, fertile soil. Good drainage is important for root growth and respiration, and acidic soil is also helpful for plant development. Generally, a mixture of garden soil, leaf mold soil and river sand is used. The proportion of garden soil should be larger, and not too much river sand should be used. In addition, you can add a little compost to increase nutrients.

4. Pot maintenance

Dig a hole on the surface of the soil and bury the tulip bulb in it. The depth is generally 1.5 times the size, and then cover it with soil, but the top buds should be exposed. After potting, maintain good ventilation, control the temperature between 5-10°C, water appropriately to keep the soil moist, and apply some fertilizer after the leaves grow.
