How to plant and maintain tulips

Tulip planting and maintenance includes soil, bulb treatment, planting and post-maintenance.

1, soil, choose soil with strong water retention and permeability, which is beneficial to the robust growth of roots and bulbs in the later stage.

2. The bulbs are treated, and tulip bulbs with smooth epidermis, no damage and no infection by pests and diseases are selected. Before planting, soak bulbs in carbendazim solution for disinfection and sterilization. You can drop 3 or 4 drops of gibberellin to promote germination, and take out the bulb after 30 minutes.

3. Planting: trenching the plot, placing the tulip bulbs neatly in the ditch to ensure that the bulbs are exposed, watering once after planting to prevent the bulbs from drying and dehydration, and covering the surface with a layer of coarse peat after planting to avoid damaging the soil structure and affecting the growth of tulips when watering.

4, post-maintenance, tulips generally germinate after 7 days. Within 2-4 weeks after planting, the soil temperature should be controlled below 65438 00℃ to avoid soft rot, and then the relative humidity in the air should be kept below 80%, and the environment should be ventilated. When the temperature drops below 5℃, tulips should be covered with double films.
