CARE GUIDE

How to keep Tulipa Fosteriana.

Water

Tulips thrive in moderate moisture conditions and generally prefer to be watered every 1-2 weeks. They are capable of tolerating dry spells by efficiently storing water, which makes them well-suited for outdoor growth as bulbous plants.

Pruning

Tulips are known for their vibrant, cup-shaped flowers. To encourage new growth, it's important to prune them in early spring by removing dead foliage and spent blooms. Be cautious not to make deep cuts, as this can damage the plant's base. Proper and timely pruning enhances flower production and overall vigor, resulting in a healthy and beautiful display.
