There are two ways to preserve tulip bulbs. In the north, they can be wrapped in newspapers and stored in a cool and ventilated place, while in the south, they should be stored in the cold room of the refrigerator. Before preparing to plant, soak them with carbendazim for disinfection, or drop a little gibberellin to accelerate germination. Use loose and fertile soil as the substrate, put the wheat bulbs inside, water them a little, and fertilize them with light after the leaves grow.

1. Preservation methods

There are two types of preservation of tulip bulbs, one is preservation at room temperature and the other is preservation at low temperature. Since the temperature in the north is relatively low, it can be stored at room temperature. Wrap the bulbs in newspapers and put them in a cool and ventilated place. In the south, low temperature storage is required, and the bulbs should be placed in the refrigerator and the temperature should be controlled between 4-9°C.

2. How to plant

1 Vernalization and disinfection: In order to ensure the healthy growth of the bulbs, it is usually necessary to treat them at low temperature for a period of time and disinfect them before sowing. Carbendazim is generally used for soaking for about 30 minutes. Then add a few drops of gibberellin to promote germination. After taking out the bulb, peel off the outer gray-brown skin.

2. Soil preparation: Tulips, like most plants, Prefer loose and fertile soil. Soft soil is important for root growth, and good drainage can also reduce the possibility of rot. If you prepare your own potting soil, you can mix garden soil, leaf mold soil and sandy soil to create good growing conditions.

3. Planting: Prepare a flower pot of suitable size, lay broken tiles on the bottom, and cover it with prepared soil. Place the bulbs upright and start filling them with soil, compacting them gently with your hands. If the flower pots are relatively deep, you can plant several of them, but do not put them together. It is not a problem to plant three in 20 cm deep pots, just place them in a triangle.

4. Subsequent maintenance: After burying the bulbs in the soil , you need to pour an appropriate amount of water, not too much water, especially no stagnant water. Place the plant in a well-ventilated place, pay attention to the temperature, and wait until it is properly exposed to light after germination. When the plant grows 3-4 leaves, you can fertilize it to promote the growth of branches and leaves.
