How to Plant Tulip Bulbs
Do you know about these? The experience of planting tulip bulbs and the correct method of hydroponic tulip cultivation will surely be of help to you. Let's learn about it together!
Tulips are very beautiful when they bloom. If you want to cultivate several bunches of tulips at home, you can use the hydroponic method. With careful attention and good care during the flowering period, tulips can bloom more beautifully and last longer. Next, we will introduce in detail from seed treatment, hydroponics, temperature and light, and seedling care.
One, Seed Treatment
The newly purchased tulip seeds cannot be planted immediately and need to be disinfected first. Soak the seeds in a solution of 75% benzalkonium chloride diluted 800 times for about half an hour, and then proceed with normal hydroponics.
Two, Hydroponics
For hydroponic tulip cultivation, there are special culture boxes. Fill the box with water, but not too full, ensuring that the lower half of the bulb is immersed in water. Then place the bulb upright in the culture box, making sure it does not lean to one side.
Three, Temperature and Light
Place the hydroponic box in a place with plenty of sunlight and keep the temperature between 8-14 degrees Celsius. Generally, after about a week, the bulbs can take root and sprout.
Four, Seedling Care
After the bulbs take root and sprout, they will enter the growth period. At this time, it is necessary to change the water regularly, usually every three to four days. When changing the water, pour out half of the water and then add an appropriate amount of water and a few drops of nutrient solution. When the bulbs grow three to four leaves, the flower bud will gradually emerge. At this time, the temperature needs to be controlled at around 17 degrees, which is conducive to the growth of the flower bud. After the flower bud emerges, it will bloom in about a week. It is recommended to place the tulips in a shady place after flowering to effectively extend the flowering period.
The above is a specific introduction on how to plant tulip bulbs and the correct method of hydroponic tulip cultivation, hoping to bring some knowledge of flowers to green plant enthusiasts.
