1、 Is it a perennial

Tulips are perennial plants. Many people think that this plant can only be planted for one year, and the whole plant will wither after the flower withers, but in fact, it is not the case. As a bulb plant, it is natural for the aboveground part to wither. The bulb has been on the ground. Generally, it will take root again in autumn and winter, and will continue to grow in spring. If it is planted in the south, especially in the ground, it is usually pilled after the flowers fade, dried and stored in the refrigerator at low temperature. In this way, vernalization can be completed and the impact of plum rain season can be avoided

2、 How many years can the bulb last

Tulips generally rarely buy seeds for planting. They are raised by buying bulbs. According to the growth of bulbs, there is usually no fixed number of years. For some bulbs with poor growth and small size, they may not be used for a year without paying attention to maintenance. If the bulbous root grows relatively large and the environment is also suitable, it can be raised for many years, but it will degenerate in 2-3 years

3、 How to raise bulbs

1. Post flower pruning: after the tulip flower withers, do not immediately lift out the seed ball, but properly prune it, cut it 2-3cm below the flower, keep the leaves as much as possible, and rely on them for photosynthesis. The advantage of this is to reduce nutrient consumption, and make the bulb accumulate more nutrients by letting the leaves bask in the sun

2. Proper fertilization: in order to make the bulb grow better in the second year, appropriate supplementary fertilizer is needed. Compound fertilizer shall be used for fertilization during ball raising, which can ensure more comprehensive nutrients and will not lead to poor growth and development of plants or affect the development of the next year due to partial application
