For beginner flower lovers, they often agonize over how to plant tulips. Actually, it is not that complicated. Just a few simple steps will get tulip planting done. Let's see how flower lovers who have planted them before grow tulips. When planting tulips, first check the bulbs. If any have mold, soak them in a carbendazim solution, then properly clean off the moldy parts. If the bulbs are very healthy, you can skip this step.

Tulips: Propagation, cultivation, and pest and disease control of tulips

Because I have planted them before, based on my own summary, I feel there is just one key point: plant them deeper.

Start planting. Prepare a pot and soil. The flower pot can be whatever, but make it as deep as possible. Do not use a shallow pot. Choose the pot diameter according to how many you are planting. Tulips generally look better planted in groups. I have always been casual about mixing soil: coarse coconut husk, fine coconut coir, plus a bit of perlite. It is economical and practical.

Point the sprouting end of the tulip upward, then plant them evenly on the soil, then cover with about 5 cm of soil, water thoroughly, and place in a spot with plenty of light for care (if planting in autumn and the local temperature is still relatively high, then you need to place them in a shady, cool spot, because tulips like a cool environment; if planting relatively late, then a spot with plenty of light is fine). In daily care, do not water too much, to avoid bulb rot. Water again only when the soil is dry.

Generally after one week, the bulbs begin to sprout. During the day, keep the indoor temperature at 12°C~15°C. If the temperature is too high, ventilate promptly to cool it down. At night, it should not be lower than 6°C, to encourage the bulbs to root early and grow strong roots, and to cultivate strong seedlings. If the temperature is too high at this time, the plant stems will be weak and the flower quality poor. After more than 20 days, when the plant has grown two leaves, increase the temperature promptly to encourage the flower buds to break free from the bracts in time.
