Tulips should be dug up every year because they tend to reproduce very quickly.
In order to avoid digging flower beds, gardeners have adapted to plastic boxes with holes.
Bury the containers in the ground and plant the tulip bulbs there.
This way they do not have the ability to grow deep and can be replanted once every 3-5 years.
Time for digging up tulips
The approximate time for digging up the bulbs is considered to be the day of the last bell in schools.
A more precise definition is the state of the flower when the leaves begin to turn yellow. After the second or third leaf, the bulb is dug up.
Tulip planting time
Before planting tulips, sort them by size and treat the bulbs in a special solution.
Then store the tulips in cardboard boxes at a temperature of 20...25 degrees for a month. Afterwards, the temperature can be lowered to 18...20 degrees.
An important point is to store tulips in a dark place.
Reasons for digging up tulips
• So that young bulbs are in more favorable conditions.
• To identify diseased and weak bulbs.
• To prevent the accumulation of various diseases.
• To ensure that all the onions are not chopped.
• To prevent the formation of a large number of babies, as they grow deeper into the soil every year.
• To maintain the soil in good condition.
