Frequently asked questions(4)
Varietal varieties (especially terry and parrot varieties) - yes, otherwise they become smaller and degenerate in 2-3 years. Specific botanical tulips can grow in one place for 5–7 years.
From the end of September to mid-October - when the average daily temperature drops to +5..+10°. Those planted will have time to start growing earlier and will freeze in winter.
DO NOT disturb the foliage or stems - let them turn completely yellow (5-6 weeks). At this time, the bulb accumulates food. Then dig it up, dry it and store it until September.
The main reasons: small bulbs (the “baby” needs to be grown for 2-3 years), planting too small, the bulbs did not rest in the summer, or the variety has degenerated - update the planting material.
