Treatment of tulip flowers after blooming

Obtaining Flowering Bulbs

After the flowers fall, cut off the flowers and keep the leaves. The remaining part should not be too short. When the plant enters a semi-dormant period in the summer, take out the small bulbs in the flowerpot, dry them and store them to obtain flowering bulbs. Usually, the first lateral bud below the top flower bud is well-developed, and the quality of the lateral buds as they develop downwards gradually decreases, and the quality of the flowering bulbs also decreases accordingly.

Planting bulbs properly

In September and October, sterilize the bulbs and plant them in pots with a 4-5 cm soil layer. Place them in an environment of about 9 degrees Celsius and apply base fertilizer to promote rooting and help the growth of small bulbs formed by division. After germination, water appropriately to keep the soil sufficiently moist, and apply thin fertilizer in time to supplement nutrients. Normally. After rooting, the bulbs will bloom in about 50 days in an environment of 15-18 degrees Celsius.

According to the change of seasons, the bulbs can grow and develop smoothly

When it gets cooler in late autumn, the pots need to be placed outdoors to allow them to sprout again. During the winter, make sure the bulbs are grown in sufficiently warm and dry living conditions. Apply fertilizer twice after new leaves grow in the spring of the following year, and it will bloom again in March or April. After the bulbs bloom, they should be placed in a space with lower temperatures to allow them to grow, and fertilizers should be applied in time, while pests and diseases should be controlled.

In summary, tulips need to be properly treated after flowering before they can continue to grow and bloom. In order to make tulips last longer and add color to our lives for a long time, instead of ending their lives after the flowers fall, flower lovers must learn how to properly handle tulips after they bloom.
