Growing guide for Tulip Madonna Parrot Bulbs
Planting instructions
If you’re planting tulip bulbs directly in the ground in the fall, dig a hole that's about 3 times the height of the bulb. Place the bulb with the pointy end up, about 6 inches (15 cm) deep. Space bulbs about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) apart. When planting in containers, use a container at least 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) deep. Plant bulbs at the same depth as in the ground, about 6 inches (15 cm) deep. Choose a container with good drainage. It could be a pot or a planter, as long as it has holes at the bottom to let excess water escape.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Tulips can be affected by aphids, slugs, and fungal diseases like Botrytis. Regular checks and proper care can help keep these issues at bay.
soil
Choose a sunny to partially shaded spot for planting. Tulips need plenty of sunlight to bloom beautifully in the spring.
spot
Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot in the garden where the tulips can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
temperature
Tulip Parrot Green Madonna Bulbs thrive in cool climates with a cold winter period to trigger blooming. Ideal temperatures range from 10-15°C.
watering
Water the bulbs well after planting, then reduce watering as they grow. Overwatering can cause the bulbs to rot.
