How much is a pot of tulips? Grow them this way in water and they will bloom
Tulip, also known as the foreign lotus and grass musk, is the national flower of the Netherlands, Turkey, Hungary and other countries, and has the reputation of the world's flower queen. Because its flowers are very gorgeous and come in diverse colors, it is deeply loved by flower lovers, and many people like to keep a pot. So roughly how much is a pot of tulips? What are the hydroponic methods?
I. Introduction to tulips:
1. What do tulips symbolize?
Victory, happiness, holiness.
2. What is the flower language of tulips?
Blessing, eternity, purity, confession of love, endless love, nobility, preciousness.
II. Roughly how much is a pot of tulips?
Tulip market prices are not expensive, and they are generally sold by the stem. A single stem is generally about 9 yuan, a pot with two plants is about 15 yuan, and a single plant in a single pot is about 8 yuan. However, prices vary due to differences in market, selling time, bulb size and variety. For example, on a certain online shopping platform, for tulips with a bulb circumference of about 11-12cm, 3 bulbs sell for about 15.9 yuan in Suqian City, Jiangsu, and 5 bulbs sell for about 15 yuan in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. Therefore, the specific price still needs to be checked by purchasing at the local flower market.
III. What are the hydroponic methods for tulips?
1. Bulb selection: What kind of bulbs are good to choose?
Tulips have diverse varieties, so when selecting bulbs, it is best to choose two or three bulbs with smooth skin, no damage and no disease. Personally, I suggest choosing bulbs of the varieties Golden Apollo, Pure Gold and World's True Love as the best.
2. Bulb disinfection: How to disinfect?
Tear off one layer of the outer skin of the tulip, and remove the scale skin at the root plate part. Finally, put the bulbs in a mesh bag and soak them in 800 times diluted 75% carbendazim powder solution for two to three hours to disinfect. Then take them out and dry off the moisture for later use.
3. Bulb planting: How to plant?
Place the treated bulbs on a hydroponic bottle, then put some pebbles around them to fix them in place, and finally pour an appropriate amount of water into the bottle. When adding water, do not let it cover the bulb, so as to avoid bulb rot.
4. Hydroponic management tips: How to manage?
(1) Water requirements: When adding water, the water surface should ideally just touch the basal plate of the bulb, so that it is not too high and causes the bulb to rot, and not too low and causes the roots to fail to reach the water and die. In addition, each time you change the water, change it once every three or four days, and change the nutrient solution once every two weeks to promote flower bud growth.
(2) Temperature requirements: At the beginning, it is best to place it in a 5-10 degree environment. After the bulb develops well, it is best to place it in a 15-18 degree environment. If hydroponic cultivation is done in autumn, it is best to control the temperature at 9-10 degrees, and when spring sprouting occurs, move it to a 13-15 degree environment for growth.
(3) Light requirements: Generally, placing it in a place with sufficient light is fine, but do not expose it to direct sunlight, so as to avoid sunburn death.
Overall, tulip market prices are not expensive, and generally one stem can be bought for just a few yuan. However, due to differences in bulb size, variety and market, prices will vary, so when purchasing, try to buy at the local flower market. In addition, tulips, like pothos, can be grown hydroponically. You only need to do basic management work such as light, temperature, water and fertilizer, and they will bloom.
