How to grow tulips at home and when to plant them

Before planting tulips at home, you must first select good bulbs. Only by ensuring the basic conditions of the bulbs can subsequent growth and flowering be achieved. The bulbs must be full, solid and strong, with a diameter of more than 4 cm and no obvious damage on the surface.

3. Prepare the soil

After preparing the bulbs, you can prepare the necessary potting soil. The flowerpot must be well-ventilated and can be made of clay. It does not need to be too big, with a diameter of about 10-20 cm. Spread expanded clay at the bottom of the flowerpot. To prepare suitable soil, it should be loose and fertile, have good drainage, and be rich in humus. After preparing the potting soil, you can expose it to the sun for sterilization and then use it after processing.

4. Planting in pots

Tulips prefer a cool climate and can be planted from October to November every year.
