How to plant and take care of Vincent van Gogh
- Planting Time: Plant the bulbs in the fall, preferably before the first frost, to allow them to establish roots before winter.
- Location: Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil, as tulips thrive in full sunlight.
- Planting Depth: Dig a hole approximately 6 inches (15 cm) deep and place the bulb with the pointed end facing upward.
- Spacing: Space the bulbs approximately 4-5 inches apart to allow them enough room to grow and showcase their beauty.
- Watering: Water the bulbs thoroughly after planting, and ensure they receive regular watering during dry spells.
- Winter Protection: Mulch the soil around the bulbs to provide insulation and protect them from extreme temperatures.
- Spring Care: Once the tulips bloom, remove the spent flowers to promote a neat appearance and prevent seed formation.
- Post-Bloom Care: Allow the foliage to wither naturally, providing essential nutrients to the bulb for next year's growth. Avoid cutting back the leaves until they turn yellow and wilt.
