Tulips: easy care, gorgeous flowers

Table of contents

Planted in late summer or fall, this popular ornamental bulb does not require too much work.When voles in the garden are a problem, plant bulbs in special wire baskets.Tulips may remain in the ground for several years.

If the substrate is fertile, it is enough to provide the plants with a portion of fertilizer every two or three years at the beginning of vegetation. In autumn, you can cover the bed with tulips and cover it with a layer of compost. Remember to remove wilting flower shoots.

Ripening bolls are an unnecessary burden for plants.Only remove the leaves when they are completely dry and dry.During this time, the onions will store nutrients that will be used in the next year to produce new leaves and flowers, and will also gain strength to create new bulbs.
