Thanks Yulanda you rock , i have watch all your wonderful videos and you are the best help , these tutorials are helpful.
Do the Tulip Bulbs Burn out after the first year? should I keep planting more bulbs to keep them looking good in my garden?
Please answer this post if you know the answer, I'm new to bulbs.
I just received a tulip plant for valentine's day. I live in Florida and she is blooming beautifully. I have watched several of your video's and you say to let the green leaves die down to nothing and then place the bulb's in the freezer since we are in a warmer climate. Should I do this even if my plant is an indoor plant? she isn't planted outside but in a pot. Should I place compost into my plant if i am to replant her? (sorry i'm very new to gardening)
Another gorgeous attraction that will add to our garden is the tulip flowers. With the big help of this video, we are now knowledgeable on how to care such plant after blooming. But I guess we have to be cautious about fertilizing tulips immediately after flowering because doing so can prone your plant into disease.
Not in the freezer OMG!
WAIT WHAT?? I have to dig them up and replant them? I didn't sign up for that
If you cut them out, does a new one grow in it's place?
No sound?
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.
THANK YOU …. Yes!! you are the first person to give an answer to my question.
why does pistil get big on a Tulips?
Awesome thank you for the information. I'm going to put mine in the refrigerator because it got up to 130 and more last summer. Thank you very much
My tulip leaves are turning purple help is that normal in pot bloomed already.
Funny…one says not to refrigerated the tulips and another one says it's OK.. I still haven't seen how to deal with hydroponic grown tulips …mind have died down I got the tops cut and in a paper bag…roots were still wet…one started getting mold but I got it cleaned off..bull looks a little gold color while the others are still white-ish…. so… do I refrigerate them…? Let them dry first..? I did put them in a paper towel.. should I remove that…?
in southwest Ohio. I have Blue Grape Hyacinth and a few tulips I have in a raised flower bed around my tree. will these two plants multiply at the same rate? they are all 1 year old. thanks.
What if I cut them before they turn brown? I mean, removing all the leaves…

Hello, Yolanda Vanveen what happens when you plant tulips 8inches deep? Thanks
The freezer??! They'd become mush in the freezer. They're not supposed to freeze rock solid! In nature they never freeze rock solid because they're insulated by the ground.
Thank you very much was very very useful.

Darwin tulips
Here in WNC…Ive always planted them at least 6" deep to help prevent them from falling over and to have a stronger stem to support them. After about 3 or 4 years I dig them up in the fall and separate them in time for them to grow some roots before the ground gets too cold..and they can get established to make it through the winter months…also mulch them as well as other bulbs. I plant so I can have flowers blooming all spring and summer.
Thanks
should I still water the the plant after the flowers die?
thank you!
I am new in your channel..I live in zone 3 which really cold in the winter 6 months and I;m just wondering if I can just leave in the ground hoping it will come back again.. But I am planning to plant this October as soon as the weather get cold..
Hi! If I live in Hawaii will my bulbs no reboot bcuz I don't have snow in the winter? I've never grown bulbs before, have no clue how to grow them. 😅🤷♀️
