An important question for a florist: when to plant tulips?

If you decide to plant spring flowers in your garden, the question is when planting tulips will arise from you unequivocally. The growth and flowering of spring flowers are influenced by many factors, but the time of planting bulbs is one of the most important. Let's try to figure out how and when planting the planting material. Before growing tulips, you need to learn a little about the features of their agricultural technology. You can grow them in a single planting, but they look especially beautiful in multiple plantings. When to plant tulips in this case? About this a little later, but first - a little about the quality of planting material. It is very important to sort out the dug out and dried bulbs of tulips in size (for professionals they are called "analysis"). According to the existing international classification, there are such analyzes: extra, 1 analysis, 2 analysis, 3 analysis, 1 category baby and 2 category baby. Depending on the size of the bulb, the time is determined when planting tulips is most expedient, because the smaller the size of the bulb, the less its frost-resistance and more time will be required for its rooting. Especially this condition applies to plants intended for distillation. The disassembled bulbs are placed in wooden boxes and left for storage in a ventilated and dark room (shed, cellar) until autumn. In the first time after excavation, the temperature is 20-22 ° C, and after it is reduced to 16-17 ° C. When storing bulbs, avoid significant temperature fluctuations.

Many beginning flower growers do not know when to plant tulips, and do it in the spring, buying in the markets bulbs of dubious origin. As a rule, after planting such bulbs, they wait for their magnificent flowering in the same year and, without waiting for the beautiful flowers, refuse further cultivation of tulips on their site. And the cause of poor flowering is that any plant (especially with a short vegetation period) immediately starts to "ache" after planting, which affects its appearance. Planted in the early spring tulips can only blossom next year in full blossom. Even worse is the situation with plants that are transplanted into the open ground immediately after flowering. Such plants in general can die.

Having decided that it is inadvisable to plant these plants in the spring, will we try to find out when to plant the tulips in the fall? The timing of bulb planting has a fairly wide range. They are completely dependent on the climatic zone of residence. Planting time by zone:

- North-western: September 5-25;

- Medium: September 15 - October 10;

- Southern: October 10-November 25.

You can plant tulips until the soil at a depth of 10 cm has a temperature of at least 6-9 ° C. On one square meter of the area, up to 60 large bulbs are planted. Having determined the period when planting tulips in your climatic region is most expedient, prepare the soil. For a couple of months before planting the bulbs, add the main fertilizer to it.

Many people who want to get tulips in winter (when forcing) are also concerned about the issue of planting tulips for distillation. The planting dates fluctuate depending on the period to which you want to get a blossoming flower. Under normal conditions, the bulbs selected for winter distillation are stored before the cold starts. Then the bulbs are placed in dark rooms with a low temperature (up to 9-10 ° C). With forcing for the New Year bulbs are stored up to 16 weeks, and by March 8 - up to 22 weeks. In early October, the bulbs are planted in a fertile substrate, which is watered daily. During this time the bulbs take root. The temperature in a dark room should be 4-9 ° C. After the rooting of the bulbs, their growth slows down, reducing the temperature to 0.5-2 ° C. Expel the tulips, transferring them to a warm (up to 12 ° C) room with 6-10 hours of lighting 4 weeks before the holiday.
