Rules for planting tulips in the open
ground:

• Prepare grooves or individual wells for plants. To the bottom
sprinkle a layer of fertilizer for bulbous plants, covering it
sand for better drainage. The distance between plants is 10-15 cm,
between rows – 30-40 cm.

• Bulbs can be planted 3 pieces “bottom down”. Wherein
they should not touch. Глубина посадки — 10-15 cm.

• Bulbs “powder” with ashes, sprinkle with fertile earth and

• When frosts come, the landing site can be covered with a layer
foliage or straw.

Tulips care

When the snow in the area melts, check whether all the bulbs
sprouted. If you find traces of disease on young stalks,
remove infected plants from the flower bed. Unsprouted bulbs too
dig up. Healthy flowers can tolerate slight frosts, but
they will begin to grow actively only when there is enough outside
heat. Provide proper tulip care:

Подкормка. For season tulips need to feed
3 times. The first fertilizer (phosphorus and nitrogen) spend when they appear

save flat bulbs – next season they won’t give
good seedlings. Immediately after digging, you need to put them in boxes on
2-3 days to dry. And before storage, process

During storage, the bulbs accumulate in them biologically.

tulips. Therefore, after sorting the planting material
provide them with the proper conditions:

• Temperature – 17-20 ˚C.

• Humidity – 70-75%.

• Lack of light.

The best option is to put the bulbs in the mesh boxes with
Straw or sawdust in 2-3 rows. Constant ventilation will not give them
