tulip bulbs question by Els: How much water does the soil of planted tulip bulbs need before they sprout?
Three weeks ago I have planted tulip bulbs in big earthen pots on my terrace. Should they be kept dry, moist or well-watered to make them sprout? I have heard that tulip bulbs rot easily. Does anybody have any experience with tulips in pots?
I live in a frost-free climate where the minimum winter temperature in December drops to +3 degrees at night and +15 degrees during the day. In this climate tulips flower usually in January when it starts warming up again.

Answer by jedi_n_dc
The problem here may be that they didn’t get their “overwinter.” In most southern climates, certain bulbs, like daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, etc., need to be artificially wintered in a cold refrigerator or moderate freezer. If the bulb wasn’t properly dormant, it may not come out.

The soil, though, should be moist but not wet. Tulips are prone to rotting in the ground if they get too wet. If the pot does not have holes in the bottom, just drill about 4 1/4-inch holes. Or use clay – which breathes better. But tulips thrive in pots because they have inherent drainage (provided there are holes in the pot.)

Also – I tend to recommend bigger bulbs. Spend a little more for better-quality bulbs. You may spend an extra dollar on the bulb, but the results will be worth it in the end.

tulip bulbs question by Kate_118: How to care for tulip bulbs until I can re-plant them?
My university plants new tulip bulbs each fall and then digs them up and throws them away each spring after they’re done blooming. I “rescued” a few bags full of tulip bulbs (with the plants still attached). I know bulbs should usually be planted in the fall, but since they’ve just been dug up, should I replant them now? If not, how should I store them until fall?

Answer by justbeingher
Put them in your refrigerator produce drawer until fall. You can cut the stems off and let them dry a little. Put them in plastic bags with little holes so they can breathe a little and not get moldy.

Gardening Bulbs – Proven Planting Methods Of The Flower Bulbs That Will Blossom In Spring
narcissus bulbs

If you want bulb flowers to blossom in spring, you need to plant gardening bulbs in September or October, and for sure before first light morning or night frost. This rule is correct for Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere where there are such things like night or light morning frost.

During selection of the bulbs for your garden pay attention on the size of bulbs. In most cases follow this rule: the bigger the bulb the better blossom! If you are buying bulb tuber – its size is defined by its diameter, not its height.

Most bulbs must be in a dormancy condition, but some of them, like Crocosmia, are an exception to the rule – its bulbs can be sold with leaves. Gardening bulbs must be free from damage with clean surface. Stem of the bulb must be solid and without signs of roots and rottenness. If bulb is soft and its stem is soft as well, if you can see sprouts, and surface of the bulb is shrunken – it means, that this bulb is low quality and you will not grow good plant from it.

Each bulb plant blooms in certain period of time and if you pay attention to this you will get pleasure of blossoming bulb flowers from the very first moments of the spring.

Galanthus is the first bulb flower that starts blooming. Crocus, Narcissus, Chinodoxa and the early Tulips will follow after them. Muscari, Tulips, Fritillaria start blooming in April and May. Allium usually flowers from the middle of May and till end of July.
If you choose you bulb flowers correct you may admire the scenery of the blossoming garden for several months from the very end of winter and till middle of the summer.

You need to make soil light thoroughly before the planting, and if in need – add some compost. Then, using bulb planter, dig the hole and put bigger flower bulb in it (in order to set it straight); it is possible to sow smaller bulbs.

There is a rule, regarding to planting depth: gardening bulb must be planted in a depth, twice the size its height. Flowers that have bigger bulbs, like Narcissus, Tulip and Hyacinthus, planting depth must be from 15 to 20 centimeters. For flowers with smaller size bulbs, like Galanthus or Crocus, planting depth must be about 5 -10 centimeters.

You need to make bigger distance between bulbs that bigger the size, than for smaller bulbs. Big should be planted in a distance of 12 centimeters from each other and the smaller bulbs about 5 7 centimeters from one another.

Sandy soil lets water through very well and from the other side clay soil stays wet for very long time. Gardening bulbs do not like when they are kept in wet conditions, so if such a case, you need to think about good flow-out of the water.
It is possible to make clay soil more airy and light by adding sand or compost there. You may add small size gravel into the hole before putting a bulb there.

After planting bulbs, you need to water them straight away this will make growing roots faster. The faster roots will appear the stronger and more stable will be bulb before cold and wet season and winter time.

When autumn rains will start you need to stop watering your garden, of course. If there is strong frost and there is no snow cover, you have to cover planted gardening bulbs by leaves, fir branches or straw.
