This year, I am having my supplier mail them just before I want to start them. Last season, I got them early and stored them in a fridge with decent success. I did have some of the bulbs shrivel up too much to grow in hydroponic trays.
Hello, thank you for your video. I would like to reproduce this in my home here in Germany. It is necessary to have the tray with these sharped sticks, or can we put them just in water?
Possibly with gravel on the bottom of a flat container? I think you need space for the roots. And you’ll need to change the water often which the prick trays make very easy.
I looked at them when I got them in Oct and they looked good. Some were smaller than others and those smaller ones are the ones that had a lot of rot. I’m still thinking my storage method wasn’t ideal.
You mentioned that you got the tulip crates from Leo Berbee but I don’t see them listed in their website. I only see a Amarillis kit available to whole sellers with the crates. Did you order them from the website?
Yes I did - from their website with my wholesale log in. I’ll try tomorrow and see if they’re out there. I wonder if they are sold out. Last year they were on backorder some.
My ph was a little low when I tested it but I haven’t amended in any way and I honestly don’t test regularly. If I have an unsuccessful crop I will definitely pay more attention. It was in low 5’s when I tested. I’ve read 5.4 - 7.3 is what is optimal for tulip hydroponics.
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Great video !!
Thanks for visiting!!
When you change out the water every 4-5 days, do you also add more calcium/nitrogen additive or is it a one time application? Excellent video.
Yes, I add the ratio of calcium/nitrogen recommended on the package each time I change the water.
What kind of space heater and temperature monitor are you using? Thanks for the great info!
I’m not using anything fancy but I will link what I use or similar in the description!
Where do you store bulbs you are waiting to grow out for Easter?

Did you check your bulbs before you stored them?

I think Leo Berbee took the hydro trays off their website. Someone said you could call to see if you can order that way!
Thank you for checking on that, I will try and call them.
They are on back order
Thanks! Popular item, it seems!
What is the ph of your water ? Mine is low. Are you adding anything to your water to either increase or decrease your ph ?
My ph was a little low when I tested it but I haven’t amended in any way and I honestly don’t test regularly. If I have an unsuccessful crop I will definitely pay more attention. It was in low 5’s when I tested. I’ve read 5.4 - 7.3 is what is optimal for tulip hydroponics.
Hello where do you buy the tray?
Leo Berbee!
