Tips to Grow Tulip

  1. Arrange good quality tulip bulbs.
  2. The soil should be well-draining, neutral to slightly acidic, fertile, and dry or sandy. Tulips don’t like moist soils.
  3. Choose a pot that is at least 18 inches in diameter and 15 inches tall. In the pot, plant 18-22 bulbs about an inch apart.
  4. We can add compost for better growth.
  5. To make cut tulips last longer in a vase, cut the stems diagonally, then wrap the upper two thirds of the flower in a newspaper funnel. Leave the tulips to sit in cool water for an hour or two, then remove the newspaper and re-cut the stems.
  6. The tulips should stay fresh for a week.
