Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    To take care of tulips is not a very difficult task and the care depends upon the kind of tulip you have in your garden. If you take the smaller one called Tulipa kaufmanniana, it requires to be lifted only when you find that it is overcrowded.
         
    If you have a larger species you should not use it in the second year and if you are retaining it you should lift it when it is green and then left the foliage so that it can get dried naturally. After the drying process is over you should clean the soil and should loose the bulb coverings and also the foliage. You should also discard all the diseased and damaged bulbs.
           
    The next step you should take is to dust them with sulphur and then store them is the net bags to get cool down. The plantation should be dome in the autumn season and you should use potash fertilizer that increases the flowering size.
