The tulip is known as the "messenger of the spring" and is elegant, colourful and popular. In fact, the tulip, although originating in europe, is well planted in many parts of the country, so that it can open a “flower sea” from a family home or balcony with due regard to its methods。
Ball selection
I'm going to plant the tulips and start with the balls. To the extent possible, full, solid, non-stereotyped tubers are selected, with larger general stocks of nutrients and high flower rates. When purchased, planting should be done as soon as possible to avoid prolonged storage leading to drying。
2. Optimal time
In most parts of the country, planting can take place in the autumn (october to november), so that a cold period can pass and the next spring will be ripe for flowering. In warmer winter areas in the south, refrigerators can be refrigerated for some time and simulate winter in artificial temperatures。
3. Soils and flower basins
The tulips like loose air, well drained sandy border soil. The soil can be made from the soil of the garden, together with the sand of the river and decomposition organic fertilizers, to keep the water and breathe. In the case of conservation in the plant, the flower basin will have a drainage hole and the bottom pellets will be more effective。
4. Plantation methods
At the tip of the ball, the depth of the earth's soil is approximately two to three times that of the tubers, usually about 8 to 10 centimetres. If many plants are planted, the distance is 10 centimetres, which is both breathtaking and beautiful. The soil is pressed gently and water is poured over once, so that the soil and the tubers fit closely。
5. Management skills
The tulips are afraid to accumulate water, and water should not be overloaded during the winter, as long as the soil is wet. When it comes to spring, it is possible to properly track down thin complex fats and promote the fracturing of flowers. During the flowering, where there is sunlight and ventilation, flowers are beautiful. After losing, the flowers are cut off, but the leaves are preserved so that they can continue to accumulate nutrients through light co-operation for the tubers, thereby facilitating the next flowering year。
6. Small conservation alerts
Southern florists need to pay special attention to the temperature, and if winter is not cold enough, the tulips can be “infertility”. At this point, a 30-40-day early freeze of the seed ball, which is then planted, will increase the flowering rate。
In general, tulip cultivation is not difficult, but the key is good balls, soil is loose, water is steady and temperature is moderate. And when all these steps are in place, in the spring of next year, you will reap a beautiful flower that will fill the garden or balcony with spring。
