Water thoroughly after planting and whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, especially during active growth and flowering. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to bulb rot.

Reduce watering as the foliage begins to yellow and die back.

Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation and direct energy back into the bulb for next year's bloom. Remove yellowed and dying foliage only after it has completely withered.

Do not cut green leaves prematurely, as they are crucial for bulb nourishment.

Garden tulips (Tulipa gesneriana) are primarily propagated through the division of offsets (bulblets) that form around the parent bulb.

Carefully separate these bulblets during the summer dormancy period when the bulbs are out of the ground. Plant them at the appropriate depth.

Tulips are typically not repotted annually. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally, then lift the bulbs in summer to inspect and store them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.

Replant them in autumn at the correct depth and spacing for optimal growth.
