Tulips will bloom a few months after planting For most women, the experience of tulip planting and blooming a few months later and the best maintenance points for green plants are introduced by the editor. Recently, many flower friends have asked Lan妖: Is it time to plant tulips now? Today, Lan妖 will introduce to you the best planting time for tulips and the precautions for planting, hoping to be helpful to you. The best planting time for tulips Tulips, as a cool-season bulbous flower, can be planted from the end of September to December. It is not recommended to plant too early. If planted too early when the temperature is still high, it is not conducive for tulips to take root and sprout. The specific planting time will also vary depending on the region. In the relatively warm outdoor planting areas of zones 7-9, planting can be done from the end of September to the end of October, and the natural flowering period is in March and April of spring. In the cold northern regions, if planted outdoors, generally planted from October to December, and blooming from April to May. In the warm southern regions, tulips will grow after planting, generally planted in January-February, and blooming in March-April. One thing to note is that in regions with low temperatures in winter, tulip natural bulbs can be planted in autumn, which are bulbs that have not undergone low-temperature treatment. After planting in autumn and winter, they will experience low temperatures in winter, naturally complete vernalization, and bloom in spring. However, in southern regions where there is no low temperature in winter, if natural bulbs of tulips are planted, they will not complete vernalization and will not bloom. Therefore, southern regions must choose 5-degree bulbs that have been vernalized. The 5-degree bulbs of tulips have been vernalized, so the time requirement for planting is not so strict. As long as a suitable environment for tulip growth can be provided, planting can be done at any time. For example, in southern regions or indoor northern regions, planting 5-degree bulbs in December can bloom during the Spring Festival. Precautions for planting tulips Tulips are very suitable for ground planting in groups and can also be potted on the balcony. The management is relatively loose when planted in the ground, and the management of potting is also relatively simple. Before planting tulips, it is recommended to treat the bulbs first. Peel off the dry shell of the outer layer of the tulip bulb. If it is planted in the ground, it can be planted directly, but it should be avoided to plant in low-lying areas and should be planted in slightly higher sunny areas. When potting or hydroponics, it is recommended to soak the peeled tulip bulbs in an 800-fold solution of carbendazim for 20 minutes before planting, and then remove and dry the moisture. This step can greatly reduce the bulb rot after planting tulips. Tulips will bloom a few months after planting Some flower friends may not understand why it is necessary to soak carbendazim for potting and hydroponics. This is because tulips need to be watered frequently when potting, and it is easy to have excessive watering. For hydroponic tulips, due to the long-term contact of the bulb with water, the humidity is high, and it is very easy to mold and rot. Soaking in carbendazim in advance can greatly improve the antibacterial ability of the bulbs and reduce bulb rot. For potting tulip natural bulbs in winter, excessive insulation should be avoided. If it is in the southern region, the tulip natural bulbs should be placed in the refrigerator for 1 month before planting to help complete vernalization. When hydroponic tulips, attention should be paid to controlling the water level. At the beginning of hydroponics, it is recommended to add cobblestones or ceramic stones at the bottom of the hydroponic container, then place the tulip bulbs on the cobblestones, and add water to just touch the roots of the tulip bulbs. Too much water can cause bulb rot. If bulb rot is found during hydroponics, it should be taken out in time to cut off the rotting part, soaked in carbendazim again, and continue hydroponics, and change water frequently. Generally, tulip bulbs will take root and sprout after 1 week of hydroponics. After taking root, the water level can be controlled 1cm below the bulb, and with each addition of water, hydroponic nutrient solution can be added. Hydroponic tulips are prone to green moss when exposed to direct sunlight, so they can be raised in a bright scattered light area or shaded with hydroponic bottles before being exposed to sunlight. The above sharing of the comprehensive knowledge of tulip planting and blooming a few months after planting, and the best maintenance points for tulips, hope to help you. |
