It can overwinter in the ground without any problems. Moderate frost even helps keep the onions healthy as it kills soil pests and germs. Earlier onions can also be planted in spring. Depending on the planting time, the flowering can then vary between the end of March and the beginning of May.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/d13371fe5067bee8fcf20461e076cc74.jpg\" alt=\"Tulips: flowering period and care\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caring_for_tulips_properly\"><\/span>Caring for tulips properly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The tulip is very frugal. It doesn&#8217;t take much to get a beautiful flower. However, if you want to live longer from a large and strong bloom, then a few points should be observed when caring for the tulip.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Properly_care_for_tulips_before_they_bloom\"><\/span><strong>Properly care for tulips before they bloom<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The tulip also thrives in poor locations. However, if you mix in some compost when planting the onions and regularly help with organic fertilizer before flowering, your tulips will show their appreciation for this. Primarily organic fertilizers are very suitable because they promote soil life, deliver nutrients over the long term, and are usually harmless in terms of their impact on the environment. You should also water regularly so that the nutrients can be used efficiently. Our Gardender organic flower fertilizer is such a fertilizer and contains all the nutrients for a rich tulip bloom.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out how to properly fertilize your tulips in <a href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/fertilizing-tulips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Properly_care_for_tulips_while_they_are_in_bloom\"><\/span><strong>Properly care for tulips while they are in bloom<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As soon as the tulip blooms, it has passed the most critical phase of growth. During flowering, you should make sure that there is always enough water available so that the stems, leaves, and flowers are adequately supplied and thus remain juicy. If the water supply ebbs, the thirsty tulip can quickly wilt. Warning: don&#8217;t mean it too well to your darlings! Waterlogging is at least as harmful as drought.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/8b28b8d828b192e8e8959481a1e8f8c9.jpg\" alt=\"Tulips: flowering period and care\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tulips_after_flowering_cut_or_not\"><\/span><strong>Tulips after flowering: cut or not?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You shouldn&#8217;t cap your tulips right after they bloom. If the petals have wilted, you can carefully remove them from the rest of the plant. It is best to leave the green parts of the plant such as leaves and stems for a few days to weeks. Through photosynthesis, the tulip can gain energy for the formation of daughter bulbs. The longer you give the tulip time, the more abundant the bulb yield and thus the bloom in the next year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/efff6ead3754526d45841fcde35eac42.jpg\" alt=\"Tulips: flowering period and care\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> If the first signs of wilting can be seen on the green parts of the plant, then these should also be removed with a sharp knife.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You might so like<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"yoast-link-suggestion__value\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/pruning-rhododendrons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pruning Rhododendrons: When And How To Prune Correctly<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"yoast-link-suggestion__value\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/vanilla-flower-everything-you-need-to-know-about-planting-caring-for-the-solstices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vanilla Flower: Everything You Need To Know About Planting And Caring For The Solstices<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"yoast-link-suggestion__value\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/hydrangea-flowering-time-what-to-do-if-the-hydrangea-doesnt-bloom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hydrangea Flowering Time: What To Do If The Hydrangea Doesn&#8217;t Bloom?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tulips are available as cut flowers most of the year.
