Tulips are native to Turkey and are now grown all over the world. They are important ornamental plants and are often used in flower beds, flower borders, potted plants and cut flowers. Tulips are temperate plants that prefer a climate with warm and humid winters and cool and dry summers. Let’s learn together how tulips survive the winter. 1. Keep warm and control temperature Tulips have a certain degree of cold resistance, but when the temperature is too low in winter, appropriate warming measures should be taken. It is best to control the temperature at around 10℃, which is conducive to root growth. 2. Control watering The temperature is low in winter and water evaporates slowly, so the amount of watering should be controlled to keep the soil slightly moist to avoid root rot caused by excessive watering. 3. Stop fertilizing Tulips do not germinate and grow in winter and have low nutrient demands, so fertilization should be stopped to avoid fertilizer damage. 4. Adequate lighting Tulips need plenty of light and should be placed in a well-lit environment to help them survive the winter safely. 5. Indoor maintenance In particularly cold areas, such as the north, it is recommended to move tulips indoors and keep the room temperature between 15-20 degrees to avoid frostbite. 6.Burying of bulbs Another common wintering method is to store the bulbs. They can be buried in the sand or wrapped in newspaper and placed in a dry, ventilated, cool place for planting in the spring. 7. Wintering in the open air In areas where the temperature does not drop below -14℃, tulips can overwinter in the open air. If the temperature is low in winter, you can cover the tulips with plastic bags and place them in a sunny, sheltered location with adequate ventilation to ensure their safe wintering. In short, many people are planting tulips now, and winter is coming soon. Proper wintering management measures can help tulips survive the winter safely.
