1、 How to trim

Tulip pruning is mainly carried out after flower. It is a bulbous plant, which contains certain nutrients. Plant growth and flowering are closely related to it. Because flowering will consume the nutrients of the seed ball, pruning in time after flowering can avoid nutrient consumption. In addition, if the aboveground part of the plant withers, it should also be cut off in time

2、 Do you want to prune

Tulips have only one stem. There is no branch on the stem, so they can't be pruned. If the stem is cut off, it will not bloom in that year, which greatly reduces the ornamental value of the plant

3、 Post cutting care

1. Watering and fertilization: after trimming tulips, appropriate supplementary water and nutrients are needed. At this stage, the aboveground part of the plant will gradually wither, but before it withers completely, we must ensure sufficient water and fertilizer, so that the seed ball can grow better, which is conducive to the flowering of the next year

2. Pilling and preservation: generally, the branches and leaves of the plant will wither completely from September to October. At this time, stop watering and fertilization, and take out its seed ball at the same time. After pilling, it should be stored in a place with low temperature, and let it undergo vernalization process, which is conducive to subsequent growth and development

3. Replanting: tulip bulbs need to be preserved until November, when they can be replanted. Prepare loose and fertile soil, which is generally prepared with rotten leaf soil, sandy soil and nutrient soil in the ratio of 2:2:1. Add an appropriate amount of cow dung as the base fertilizer, and bury the seed ball in it. After 10 days, it can be placed in the sunny place to receive light
