Tulips are a wonderful gift to give for a Birthday, Mothers Day or even just a Thinking of You. Typically a 6 inch Tulip Plant can be cared for and enjoy inside before planting outside for next years bloom. I'm going to tell you how. Tulips are stunning showstoppers that work equally well in a shaded flower bed or for use in a more formal gardens. Though they look as delicate as orchids, Tulips are hardy bulb plants that will return year after year when cared for correctly.
-Once you get your new Tulip home place it in bright indirect light away from heat sources, such as TV's or heat ducts. Heat will speed up the natural flowering process shortening the life span of your plant.
_Temperature should be 65 degrees no more than 70 degrees, so you can enjoy your tulip longer.
-Tulips are usually potted in a sandy soil which provides excellent drainage for your plant.
- Water your plant every couple of days.
-Fertilizing is not necessary.
-Once your Tulip has finished flowering you can plant your bulbs outdoors come spring. Pot forced Tulips will not flower again for two season when planted outdoors.
