Tips For Preserving Tulips In Flower Pots?

Tulip bulbs are a type of plant that store energy and develop over time, similar to onions, garlic, and other plants. They can be saved from potted plants by following these simple steps:

1. Wait for the foliage to die back naturally after blooming, which takes 4 to 6 weeks.
2. After blooming, allow the foliage to wither and die back, then dig the tulips up.
3. Clean off the soil and let the bulbs dry. Discard any damaged ones. Store the bulbs in nets or paper bags in a cool, dry place. Label them and keep them in a cool dark place before replanting them in the fall.
4. Cut off the top of the stem to prevent seed production. Keep the soil moist but not accumulate water.
5. Store the bulbs in a cool, dry place, checking them regularly.
