How do you keep tulips? Planting methods, maintenance and management of tulip bulbs

Tulip is a perennial bulb flower of the genus Tulip of Liliaceae, which is no stranger to everyone. It generally forms an overall color block landscape for people to watch. Medium and dwarf varieties of tulips can be potted. They are deeply loved by people because of their elegant appearance and pure color. It is an important ornamental flower in early spring garden, but many people do not know how to raise tulips. Let's take a look!

Selection and purchase method of Tulip seed Ball

1. To select a pure variety, no disease and insect harm, no damage, because the circumference of the bulb requires more than 8cm, 6cm will not blossom, 6cm flowering is not guaranteed, the bulb can be divided into four grades according to its perimeter, the first class is more than 12cm (diameter 3.8cm), the second class 11cm 12cm (3.5cm 3.8cm), the third grade 10cm 11cm (3.2cm 3.5cm), and less than 10cm (3.2cm 3.5cm).

2. The dark color of the bulb is red, and the light color is light yellow or white. It is also necessary to ask whether it is an imported ball, a domestic ball, a normal temperature ball or a low temperature ball. Normal temperature bulb is a kind of bulb without low temperature treatment, after planting through the natural low temperature period, flowering from mid-late March to early April.

Planting method of Tulip bulb

1. Low temperature treatment: put the seed bulb in the refrigerator at a temperature of 4 ℃ ~ 9 ℃, then take it out and plant it two months later, or plant it directly in a basin and put it in the refrigerator, and prepare a flower box or 5-inch flowerpot about 70 cm long.

2. Soil selection: it is best to use peat soil entirely.

3. Planting density: the long flowerbox can plant five bulbs in two rows and plant each bulb at a distance of 8 centimeters apart, while a 5-inch pot can plant three bulbs.

4. Planting method: when planting, the convex part of the bulb is facing up, and the flatter side is planted in the same direction, then the leaves will grow neatly and the leaves will be more beautiful. After planting the bulb, cover the soil with the surface layer and make the long-term fertilizer such as fairy fertilizer and magic fertilizer as base fertilizer and pour enough water.

Methods of maintenance and management of tulips

1. Soil: tulips require both water retention and air permeability, the salinity should not be too high, and the pH value should not be less than 6. The mixture of peat, mature soil and sand with 1 ∶ 1 ∶ 1 as cultivation medium has a better effect.

2. Sunlight: sufficient sunlight is necessary for the growth of tulips. Insufficient sunlight will cause poor plant growth, cause sprouting, plant weakening, lighter leaf color and shorter flowering period. But tulips on the pot after more than half a month, should be properly shaded, in order to facilitate the growth of new roots. In addition, during germination, the elongation of flower buds is inhibited by light. Shading can promote the elongation of flower buds and prevent the early vegetative growth from growing too fast. After emergence, light should be increased to promote plant jointing, form buds and promote coloring. After the buds are fully colored in the later stage, direct sunlight should be prevented and the flowering time should be prolonged.

3. Temperature: tulips prefer warm winters and cool summers, and the optimum temperature for growth is 9-13 ℃. Strong cold resistance, can withstand the low temperature of-35 ℃ in winter.

4. Watering: water should be watered thoroughly after planting, so that the soil and seed bulbs can be fully and closely combined to facilitate rooting, water should be properly controlled after budding, leaves can be gradually elongated, water can be sprayed on the leaf surface to increase air humidity, and adequate water supply should be ensured at bolting and budding stages to promote the full development of flowers and proper water control after flowering.

5, fertilization: tulips do not have high requirements for fertilizer, if the growth potential is weak, you can apply some nitrogen fertilizer. When the root system is well developed, 2 kg of calcium nitrate is applied every 100 square meters, spread in three times, each time at an interval of more than one week.

6. Insect pests: the pathogens of tulip diseases and insect pests can be carried by the seed ball or by the soil, which mostly occur in the environment of high temperature and high humidity. the main diseases are stem rot, soft rot, broken color disease, quenching disease, blind bud and so on. most of the pests are aphids. Adequate soil disinfection should be carried out before planting, virus-free bulbs should be selected as far as possible, diseased plants should be dug up and destroyed in time, and fungicides should be poured once or twice in the growth process of the greenhouse, the effect is better; good ventilation should be maintained to prevent high temperature and humidity; when aphids occur, 3% natural pyrethrum can be sprayed 800 times.

The conservation method of tulips how to grow tulips? How do you keep tulips?

Tulips are also known as lotus and grass musk. The florescence is from March to May. Flowers cup-shaped, solitary branches apical, open during the day and closed in the evening. There are many varieties of horticulture, and the color and shape of flowers vary from variety to variety. I like a cool, humid climate and plenty of light. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-25 ℃. The tulips are colorful and radiant. Potted plants should choose dwarf varieties, move people to watch indoors when flowering, can be placed on windowsill, desk, dining table, coffee table, or cut and inserted in indoor vase when flowering.

1. Soil selection for tulip culture.

The soil is required to be deep sandy loam or clay loam, the groundwater level is 55-70 cm, the pH value is 6.5-7.0, the tillage layer is in 20~25cm, and the soil must be ploughed deeply before planting. Loose soil is beneficial to the emergence of young buds and the growth of roots and seedlings. The soil is hardened and sticky, it is difficult to unearth the buds, consumes too much nutrients, the germination rate of bulbs is low, the flowering of plants is small and irregular, and it is difficult to dig bulbs.

2. Fertilization methods for tulip culture.

Sufficient fertilizer is needed in the process of tulip growth and bulb expansion. Loose and fertile barnyard manure, rotten garbage fertilizer, all kinds of cake fertilizer and bone meal are commonly used in the Yangtze River Delta. In early spring, topdressing is required for 2 or 3 times from stem and leaf extension to bud appearance, and sufficient basal fertilizer should be applied to potted tulips in greenhouse cultivation.

Tulip is very sensitive to fertilizer, such as insufficient nitrogen fertilizer, the bulb decreases, the leaf is small and poor, the flower stem is shortened, the flower is small, the florescence is delayed, and most races have only one leaflet. On the contrary, if the nitrogen fertilizer is sufficient, the reproduction coefficient is obviously increased. The effect of single application of phosphate fertilizer is not obvious, but if it can be mixed with potash fertilizer, it will greatly promote the development of flower stem. When nitrogen fertilizer was mixed with potash fertilizer, the number of medium-sized bulbs increased. It should be noted that from rooting, the better the root system develops, the higher the absorption and utilization of nutrients, the stronger the growth of tulips and the better their development.

3. Watering method of tulip culture.

Tulips prefer sandy loam or clayey loam with good drainage and low groundwater level. It is not suitable to plant tulips in silt beach and areas with high groundwater level, but those who really want to plant tulips should dig drainage ditches to lower the groundwater level, reduce the groundwater level of heavy clayey soil by 40~60cm, and decrease the groundwater level of light sand loam by 100~140cm, or carry out high border cultivation. In the low-lying waterlogged land, the cue ball is easy to rot in autumn and freeze to death in winter.

Before planting, the soil moisture should be adjusted, it should not be dry or wet, and a certain humidity should be maintained. Generally, it is not necessary to water the soil during the growing period, just keep the soil moist. When the weather is dry, you can water the soil for 2 times, and the wetting depth can reach 15cm.

4. Temperature requirements for tulip culture.

Tulip likes to be cool and afraid of high temperature during the whole growth process, and its growth temperature range is 8-16 ℃. Under natural conditions, when the air temperature is 15-25 ℃ in mid-late September, the tulip bulb begins to take root. At this time, the storage bulb must be stored at 9 ℃ to prevent the bulb from rooting under the basal plate. It is generally planted from late October to late November.

In the northern region, when the winter air temperature was 1: 3 ℃ and the soil temperature was 5: 7 ℃ (slightly higher in the south), the root system on the bulb continued to grow, but the rate slowed down significantly, and the buds overwintered in the ground and did not come out. In this way, tulips in the open field just passed the low temperature stage of 5: 9 ℃ in 70-90 days. If the winter temperature is high and the low temperature is not enough, the growth of tulips is obviously poor and the flowers become smaller.

In late February, when the temperature rose to 8: 10 ℃, the buds began to be unearthed. In the middle of March, when the temperature was 10: 14 ℃, the seedlings spread their leaves and gradually entered the vigorous period of stem and leaf growth. At this time, if the temperature is higher than 20 ℃, it will inhibit the development of root system.

5. Lighting requirements of tulip culture.

Tulip is a Sino-Japanese plant and likes a sunny environment. Light is an important limiting factor for tulip flowering. In the process of cultivation, tulips must receive no less than 8 hours of light every day, which helps tulips accumulate more photosynthates, ensure good plant growth and ensure normal flowering.

Although tulips like light, they should be shaded properly in a solar greenhouse or when the sunshine is strong in spring in the open field. A single tulip flower generally blooms for 5-6 days, with low temperature, high humidity and cloudy days, and the flowering period can be extended to 10-14 days. If the tulips are exposed to excessive sunlight, the flowers will fully expand, and the best viewing period will be significantly shortened, some only 3-5 days. If there is a serious lack of sunlight, it will also lead to shortening of florescence, weak and short stems, light color of flowers, loss of due ornamental, and even abnormal development of bulbs, resulting in degradation. After the bulb is harvested, put it in a dry and ventilated place to dry in the shade and avoid exposure to the sun.

The above is the planting method of tulips provided by the succulent flower bed. I hope it can be helpful to you. Welcome to continue to pay attention to the succulent flower bed and learn more about the conservation of tulips!

How to cultivate hydroponic tulips cultivation methods of hydroponic tulips

Tulip, a herb of the genus Tulip in Liliaceae, is the national flower of Turkey, Kazakhstan and the Netherlands. Single terminal flower, large and gorgeous, tepals red or mixed with white and yellow, sometimes white or yellow, is now one of the more popular flowers. Let's go with the editor to learn about how to raise tulips and how to cultivate tulips.

Introduction to tulips

English name: Tulip

Scientific name: Tulipa gesneriana

Alias: foreign lotus, dry lotus, grass musk, tulip, red and blue flower, purple incense

Family: Liliaceae of Liliaceae

Genus: Tulipa of Tulip

Distribution of origin: Origin from southern Europe and West Asia to Northeast China in East Asia

Morphological characteristics: perennial herbs. Leaves long elliptic-lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate. Flower stem 6-10cm high, flowers solitary stem apex, large erect, forest-like, base often black-purple. Perianth Obovate, bright yellow or purplish red, with yellow stripes and spots. There are white, pink, magenta, purple, brown, yellow, orange and so on, different shades, monochrome or complex color. Flowers are cup-shaped, egg-shaped, bell-shaped, bowl-shaped, ball-shaped, funnel-shaped, lily-shaped, single and double. The florescence is generally from March to May, with the difference of early, middle and late.

How to grow tulips in hydroponic culture

1. Seed bulb selection: hydroponic tulips need to cool the bulbs. The method is as follows: the temperature is 9 ℃ before the end of October and decreases gradually. From December to January, the temperature is about 2 ℃ and the humidity is 85-95%. The bulbs of tulips need to be wrapped in scales, undamaged, and harvested later. Otherwise, it will result in shorter beads, lighter weight, yellowing roots, no flowering, seed ball cracking and so on.

2. Planting method:

① chooses and determines the cultivation time and planting method according to the time it takes. For hydroponic cut flower cultivation, the bulb should be planted in a sterilized and watertight needle plate to stabilize the rooting temperature at 8 ℃ and the humidity between 60% and 70%.

② takes root for about two weeks, make sure the root is more than 3 cm long, and transport the needle plate to the greenhouse. The relevant conditions of the greenhouse are as follows: the humidity is 60% to 70%, the EC value in the water is 1.5ms to 2.0 ms, and the temperature is controlled at 15% 20 ℃, which is beneficial to the rapid growth of tulips.

③ is very susceptible to diseases at the initial stage of growth, so in order to prevent diseases caused by filamentous bacteria, it can be sprayed 2 to 3 times. Low toxicity, topiramate, high efficiency chlorothalonil, trimethoprim and so on were selected, and the concentration was between 750 and 1000 times.

According to the growth condition, ④ sprays foliar fertilizer timely to coordinate vegetative growth and reproductive growth. In the process of growth, due to the action of root exudates and other environmental conditions, a layer of oil film will be produced on the water surface of the needle disk, which will make the root lack of nutrient supply and cause the root system to be brown. Therefore, change the water for 2 to 3 times as appropriate.

3, nutrient liquid: the planting plate is placed in a rooting chamber with a small amount of air flow at a temperature of 5 ℃. Tap water with electrical conductivity of 1.5ms/cm or Rain Water can be used. For varieties prone to leaf cracking, water with electrical conductivity of 2ms/cm should be used in the rooting stage.

4. Maintenance: when the tulip root grows to 4cm, put the planting plate on the flat ground in the greenhouse to remove the susceptible or ungerminated bulbs. At this stage, make sure that the water level reaches the overflow outlet, the temperature is maintained at 16-18 ℃, and the humidity is maintained at 60-80%. The frequency of watering at the end of planting can be reduced to half of that before harvest, and enough water should be provided to the plant before harvest to prolong the flowering period of tulips.

The market prospect of hydroponic tulips is very broad, and the price is naturally not cheap, so I have learned superb hydroponic tulip gardening skills, so I can be self-sufficient in tulip materials at home.

Potted techniques of tulips pot conservation

Tulips can be cultivated either in the ground or in pots. Cultivation time, both planting methods can be carried out in late October.

The row spacing of the plant planted on the ground is 1416 cm, the bottom fertilizer is applied, the depth of covering soil is about 4 cm, and the depth of trench is 15-20 cm. Before and after sprouting and flowering, apply thin fertilizer for 2 to 4 times.

Potted plants to choose full and fat bulbs, 30 cm flowerpot can plant 3-5 balls. The top of the ball is flush with the soil. After planting in autumn, the pot will be buried in the soil, dug out in spring, placed in a sunny, well-ventilated place, watered and fertilized normally, and will blossom on time.

Cultivation experience

It is required to grow in sandy loam soil with good drainage and high content of humus, and can be mixed with a small amount of cooked barnyard manure and bone meal as base fertilizer.

Like cool, but strong adaptability, can not only face cold and wet winter, but also adapt to dry and hot summer, but not more than 27 ℃ in summer, the temperature is too high, it will make leaves grow too long, the proportion of leaves and flowers is out of proportion, and flowering is bad; the suitable temperature for growth is 15: 20 ℃, above 8 ℃, it can grow normally, but can also withstand the low temperature of-14 ℃.

Generally keep moist during the growing period, except for proper watering in drought, generally do not need a large amount of watering; in winter, the main roots grow slowly, but there is no watering or little watering; spring is the peak growth period of buds and leaves, which can be watered appropriately; long balls are mainly used after flower shedding, and water should be properly controlled.

Sufficient light, flowers can bloom well, and extend the viewing period of flowers, lack of light will not open enough or even closed flowers can not bloom.

Topdressing should be carried out in important growth periods such as seedling emergence, bud formation and flowering. Diluents such as sesame sauce residue, horseradish water and ferrous sulfate can promote its growth, and urea should not be used in topdressing.

For the purpose of cultivating bulb roots, the flower buds should be removed immediately to avoid the consumption of nutrients; those for the purpose of cut flower production can be cut off when the buds change color completely.

Flowers appear patterns, caused by virus infection, should be immediately dug up and burned, so as not to spread the infection.

Facilitative cultivation

If you want to supply the Spring Festival, you can choose early flowering varieties, planted in the hotbed or greenhouse in early October, move into the greenhouse in early December, sprinkle water once a day, about 20 days can bud, if you want to advance, the greenhouse temperature should be kept at 16: 18 ℃, and the surrounding cover, so as not to see the sun, two weeks later in a sunny place, and appropriate cooling, six weeks after flowering.
