How to grow tulips to make them bloom more?

1. Lighting management

Tulips are a type of flower plant that likes light, so they should be placed in a well-lit place for maintenance, and should be given at least 8 hours of light a day. But in the summer when the light is too strong, shade is needed; in the winter when the light is insufficient, appropriate supplementary lighting is also needed. This way the tulips can bloom better

2. Temperature requirements

Tulips like warmth, are not resistant to high temperatures, and are cold-resistant. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-18℃. They can grow well in an environment of 5-20℃. They grow slowly above 25℃ and gradually enter dormancy. They can withstand low temperatures of -35℃.

3. Control watering

Tulip is a bulbous plant, and bulbous plants have one thing in common: they are afraid of excessive humidity and especially waterlogging. Therefore, during the maintenance of tulips, we only need to keep the soil slightly moist. When preparing the soil, it is best to add about 30% coarse granular matrix to the soil, which can effectively prevent water accumulation in the flowerpot.

4. Reasonable fertilization

For tulips grown in potted plants at home, when the roots of the tulips grow and they begin to sprout branches and leaves, you can apply decomposed liquid fertilizer every half a month to promote the growth of the plants. In the early stage of flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used mainly. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be sprayed on the leaves to promote flower bud differentiation, thereby increasing the quantity and quality of flowering.

5. Prune dead flowers

If you find that the tulip flowers are beginning to fall, you can remove the remaining flowers, but let the leaves continue to grow. This will replenish nutrients to the bulbs so that the tulips can bloom again next year.

Generally speaking, tulips bloom between March and May, and the flowering period lasts for several months. But if you want it to bloom successfully, and bloom more and more beautifully, you must pay attention to daily maintenance, such as temperature, light, water, fertilizer, etc.
