Water
Water thoroughly when the soil begins to dry out during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly after flowering and as the foliage begins to yellow, allowing the bulbs to go dormant.
Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the soil begins to dry out during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly after flowering and as the foliage begins to yellow, allowing the bulbs to go dormant.
Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot.
Remove spent flowers immediately after blooming to prevent seed production, which can deplete the bulb's energy.
Cut back the foliage only after it has completely yellowed and withered, typically in late spring or early summer. This allows nutrients to return to the bulb.
Tulipa butkovii can be propagated by dividing the bulb offsets in late summer or early autumn when they are dormant. Replant the divisions at the appropriate depth in well-drained soil.
Flowering may be delayed for a year or two.
Tulipa butkovii, being a bulbous perennial, does not typically require repotting in the traditional sense. If grown in containers, the bulbs can be lifted and replanted annually or left in situ if the soil is well-drained and protected from extreme cold.
