Tulip blooming season

1. Flowering time

Tulips bloom from March to May, but the flowering period can be changed by controlling the temperature. If you put it in a high temperature of 34℃ for a week in June and July, and then put it in an environment of 17℃ for two months, it can promote flower bud differentiation. After planting in September, it will bloom in December. If the flower buds are placed in a 9℃ environment for a week immediately after differentiation, and then planted in September, they will bloom in February of the following year.

2. Maintenance during flowering period

1. Temperature: During the flower bud differentiation period of tulips, the temperature should be controlled at around 17-23℃. If the temperature exceeds 35℃, the differentiation of flower buds will be inhibited, leading to unfavorable flowering. In addition, low temperatures can also cause the plant to not bloom, so it should be moved indoors in time.

2. Sunlight: When tulips are germinating, light will inhibit the growth of flower buds. Therefore, it is necessary to provide shade in time, and the bulbs can also be planted deeper, which will help with flowering.

3. Watering: Watering should be reduced appropriately during the flowering period. At this time, its demand for water is limited. Too much water will hinder the breathing of the roots, causing them to rot or even die. You can increase the frequency of watering appropriately to prevent the soil in the pot from being too dry.

4. Fertilization: Stop fertilizing during the flowering period to avoid damaging the roots. Apply liquid fertilizer in time after flowering to supplement nutrients for the bulbs.
