Tulips are long-day plants that love sunlight, so they should see more sunlight when they grow. It is also very afraid of heat, but its ability to withstand cold is very good, even if the temperature is relatively low in winter, plus snow, it can survive the winter normally. Moreover, there are many varieties of it, which are cultivated in many areas of our country and are very widely distributed.

Key points for growing tulips.

a) Watering. Tulips prefer slightly damp and dry soil environments. When the plant buds, you can increase the amount of watering appropriately to promote the extraction of the flowers, which can make the ornamental value of the plant higher.

In the whole flowering management process of tulips, the principle of watering less when the temperature is low and watering more when the temperature is high should be mastered.

b) Fertilization. Due to the large amount of storage material in the bulbs of tulips, they are very important to ensure that the plants bloom properly without fertilizer. Therefore, fertilization has less effect on the early and late flowering of the plants.

In the flowering control of tulips, usually when they grow 2 or 3 leaves, after the flower leaves are extracted, they can be applied with thin liquid fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium once, which can basically ensure the normal flowering of tulips.

3) Lighting. Tulips love bright light, and light is an important limiting factor for their flowering. During the cultivation process, the plants should be guaranteed to receive no less than 8 hours of direct sunlight every day.

The suitable temperature for growth and flowering is 15 20.

Flower bud differentiation is carried out during the storage period when the bulbs are dug out of the pot and placed outdoors in the shade for the summer when the stems and leaves turn yellow. The appropriate temperature for differentiation is 20 25, and the maximum should not exceed 28.

In our country, tulips are used for two main purposes:
