We just went to a tulip farm today to pick tulips, and they made sure to cut off the bulbs before we left. They tell you they are just going to throw them away, but my husband flat out asked and was told they would charge us if we wanted to keep them. Haha. 🌷 🌷 🌷 Your video proved our assumption that they are reusable. 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you...a friend gave me a pot of beautiful pink tulips and I was wondering how to save the bulbs...found your channel by accident and I'm loving it! Calm, soft spoken, clear directions and explanations...a God send you are! Bless you.🥰
THANKS PROFUSELY.I visit Nederland every year and like others I am infatuated by Tulip flowers.but I never succeeded in growing it in My house . Yur video has given me new inspiration to grow my favourite flower in my home.
Great video with very accurate information! On youtube it is often hard to find accurate information an Prof. Infinity has really done his homework. I recently stated growing tulips also and just shared my experience in a recent video. Great work I subscribed to learn more from your experience.Thanks so much and keep sharing your gardening!
Many thanks for comment. I guess we can all share good/bad experiences in gardening and learn from each other. Stay tune for more videos on very interesting topics.
Many thanks for comment and glad that this video is helpful. If you like some of my videos, do subscribe to get update about new videos - alot more is coming.
Brilliant video with very clear instructions. I've two containers with around 200 tulips, which I'm gonna follow this and grow next year. Could you please give me bit more information about storage. Everyone say cool dry place. Should Garage is ok? do they need to be in the dark? Do they survive hot summer days in the garage? Please do a time lapse or photo video about your bulbs, how to identify rot/bad bulbs ect. BTW, I'm in UK so you are the best to get this advices. Already subscribed and looking forward to your videos. Cheers!
Thanks for such a comment. For storage, I would not suggest garage as temperature can be varying alot. I use my utility room but this is a separate space and fairly dark when not used. You can also try if you have any storage under stairs, seem perfect place (make sure that it has good air flow). I will be uploading a video on what happen to bulbs after storage in few weeks so that can give you more ideas. Thanks for subscription and I did few time-lapse, you can check my channel and will try to do more. Stay connect and Tc.
Thanks for comment. I uploaded another video which cover from planting to storing spring flowering bulbs with a lot of info. Do check if this is interesting topic for you. Tc
i was gifted a potted tulip recently & wonder how i can "preserve" the bulbs stumbled upon this, which i feel is not only an informative video that you explained clearly, but demonstrated how to remove, clean, and store tulip bulbs. i cant wait to gibe it a tr, after the blooms have dried up 😢 quick question though, where do you store the sorted & stacked bulbs? what factors & spots are ideal for storage? thanks
Lou - I generally plant in early days of winter before the frost hit the ground. If you have very harsh winter then best to keep pots in a green house. All the best and you are going to love these flowers. Tc
Great video. I have several groups of tulips in my garden. Most have been there for a few years. They need digging and sorting. When do I dig and sort? Immediately after blooming or after the leaves naturally turn brown? I am getting lots of plants and very few blooms anymore...
During which seasons are they stored and at what point do you plant them? Do you keep the tiny ones stored like that and they just grow on their own, or do you put them in soil waiting for them to grow bigger? You said we could keep them and wait till they get bigger for a few years, but how do you store them for that long of a time period?
Rebecca very valid questions and glad you ask. Once tulips finish flowering than you can start storage process as you can see in video. I plant them just before winter, I have a video on this on my channel with name Tulips, crocuses and daffodils | a journey of planting to storing bulbs. Do have a look for full details. For very tiny Tulip bulbs ( 5-10 cm) plant them every season and they will get bigger. For very very tiny bulbs less than 5cm, you can discard them. All the best for season. I have replanted my stored bulbs this year and they are give good flowers so storage is working for me. You can follow on my instagram account for instant updates. Tc
Thanks for this video. It was really helpful. Once you store the bulbs in the bulb crate, do you have to water them to keep them from drying out? Also, how long can they be stored in the crate? Thank you!!
No need to water, some will dry but unfortunately this is how it is. You can replant in early winter. I maximum store them few months until early winter.
Curious how many bulbs you planted to begin with?? Did you end up with more or less bulbs to replant?? Did you plant the smaller bulbs to get them to mature into flowering bulbs??
I always add new bulbs with store ones. When you store bulbs, you will never get all the bulbs back as bulbs will be divided during flowering season. As very small bulbs takes years to get mature so I tends to plant medium and good size bulbs. Medium size ( bigger than very small) do give flower but generally small in size.
@@jagdishbahia9162 посадите маленькие луковички в саду в землю не глубоко !!! выбрасывать не нужно☝!!! через 1-2 года они будут прекрасно цвести ☝!!! будут🌷🌷🌷 цвести букетам если не будете их выкапывать несколько лет
I was gifted tulip bulbs in a water vase and after a few weeks they’ve already bloomed. Now I’m worried about what to do with them since I don’t want to just wait for the plant to die and throw it out. Could you recommend some tips for salvaging the bulbs? Could I cut the flower and keep feeding the vase to keep it blooming? Any advice is helpful, thank you.
Interesting question. Tulips only bloom once a season. Apart from multi-headed tulips, you only get one flower per bulb in a season. Let me know if you need more information. All the best
I have a question… If I decide to save the smaller bulbs, do I simply leave them this way for a couple years? Or do I need to continue to plant every season?
This may have been mentioned and I just missed it. But, how soon after blooming, should you pull your tulips up to do this? I just uprooted one and I'm afraid I did it too soon.
Thank you so much for the information, I thought my tulips were dead forever. Might you have information for strawberries? I have some plants and tried changing the pots but I think they died...
You are welcome Carol. I found that harsh winter may cause most of damage if plants are not protected properly. Strawberries are on my list for experiment so stay tune on channel for more updates. Thanks for visiting channel. Tc
Hi, very nice videos. I love flowering bulbous plants. But do the newly planted tulips need to be removed from the ground afterwards, or should they be removed and divided the following year?
Thanks Salvo for watching. If they are in ground than I would suggest to leave them. Not all the varieties of Tulips are perennial but you can add more tulip bulbs in same area every year. This will give you a good flower display and you don't need to worry about if tulips will return or not. In the ground, I would not worry about division but if you grow in containers than it is a different story. All the best for your display.
@@ProfInfinity Thank you for your answer. My tulips are in containers, what should I do with a new plant? Do I then have to use NPK fertilizers to swell the bulbs after the flowering or vegetative season?
You are welcome. What you do mean by new plant? regarding after flowering period, I never have given any fertilizer and let the plants die naturally after deadheading.
@@ProfInfinity By new plant I mean that I bought them and planted them in containers in the fall. How should I deal with container grown tulips after flowering? Some coarser the bulbils and bulbs use NPK fertilizers to grow the bulb.
I have my tulips in my garden bed for almost 15 year i never dig them out and they still bloom every year , I mean probably some climate need to dg them out but i dont do here in zone 5B garden in east coast Canada
Woow, wonderful - 15 years. Timothy I guess that you may have now 4th or 5th generation tulips. Please do share your experience on number of blooms every year (do they all bloom or less). I heard that Tulips start to change colours over the years (my ones are just 1 year old), I am new to this so will look forward to hear from you on this and thanks for your comment. By the way, do you let Tulips to self seeds or do deadheading?
@@ProfInfinity тюльпаны 🌷 размножаются луковицами ☝потому никакого цвета они не меняют ☝!!! Для посадки в контейнер берут большие луковицы..а в открытый грунт в сад можно садить луковицы любого размера...детки не глубоко, а большие (10-11 ) по правилам. После цветения в контейнерах Вам лучше их все посадить в землю в сад☝там они окрепнут..а сейчас для контернера лучше купите новые.. Потом будете чередовать
Drini that’s fantastic if they bloom. In pots, over time they get saturated due to baby bulbs. My feeling is that you may have blooms but not same size as they were in first year. What do you think ?
What if leave the bulbs permanently in the garden? Do you have gophers, chipmunks rabbits, or other barrel-making pests that consume your bulb in winter? or will they die if left alone under the snow? I thought they could survive and flower year after year if no one harvested or ate them! Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Bonita - squirrels are part of garden so best to protect bulbs using any kind of cover. I use inset netting until leaves are 3-4 inches. I have discussed around these issues in another video (Tulips, Crocuses, and Daffodils | A Journey of planting to storing BULBS), video is available on my channel. Tc
Thank you for this informative video. I live in Goa, India and have crocosmia growing all year round which keep producing more bulbs and foliage but hardly ever flower. Do you suggest i take them out and refrigerate them for a while so that they are forced to flower?
Если вы купили и посадили новые тюльпаны то желательно их выкопать после цветения и почистить ..возможно там на луковицах будет гнилая оболочка.. Потом посадить в сад и можно 3-4 года их не выкапывать..всё с ними будет хорошо 👍.. Если у вас нормальная погода летом и нет много дожя☁☁☁
Interesting question, I never did storage during season but I have feeling that new shoots will come out from bulbs during storage and will be white. I don’t think that they will flower as needs more energy from sun and compost etc. I have experience with dahlia and if you are late than similar thing happen. Can we store during season … I am not fully sure but you may able to. I don’t know how new white shoots will impact growth new year. Just to add, white shoots indicate low light to no light conditions and shoots turn green when expose to sun light. All the best and do share your experience.
Arjun, I don't think that they will die. After bloom, if you check bulbs than you will find that they have been divided (few small and few big) so you may not see one big bulb which you have planted. Because of division, smaller bulbs (only give foliage) will take few years before they can get to a good size (which is required to have blooms). My understanding is that if you don't dig them then this is like a future investment where smaller bulbs will get bigger and will give blooms. Do remember that generally varieties are meant to bloom for 1 or 2 years and few varieties are perennial. All the best.
I am not sure about your location but they need a cold weather to get started. In UK, December is cold until March ( perfect for bulbs) and blooming season in April onwards.
My favourites are Crocuses, Daffodils and Hyacinth and goes well with Tulips. I uploaded a new video (Tulips, Crocuses, and Daffodils | A Journey of planting to storing BULBS) on my channel and can give you more information on this. All the best
Summer on my side is not hot and we do get rain so pots are not always fully dry. I would suggest to give water. Perhaps I should try to see what happen if pots are dry during bulbs collection. All the best Shinta

I only use liquid feed during flowering period. After flowering period, I have not used anything. Regarding aftercare, I did discuss in video.
How long do we leave them in the sun 4:07
Until the outer skin is crisp like onion, normally few days to 1 week should be enough provided you get good sunny days.
@@ProfInfinity my days can cook a four course meal in under a minute
So the tiny bulb will be big like the reccomended size to plant? I don't know because I never plant and see tulips in real life before
Yes but it takes few years before tiny bulbs transformed to recommended size. This is a slow process.

I removed the bulbs and divided them, I wanna know what to do with small ones.
Small one are depends on you, you can store 5-10 cm size bulbs but anything less than 5cm just discard them.
Thanks a lot for your guidance ❤
My moms favorite flower was the iris,,but she only had four or five,,
Irish are beautiful and try other flowers as well. Around UK, it’s spring time and daffodils and Tulips are in action. Tc
Is daffodils also the same way to save for next year or better to leave them in the ground after separating the larger groups?
I never lifted daffodils and they are coming back every year 😀
I would have put them into a bucket piled on top of each other, thank you for teaching and sharing, kind sir.
Chris good idea.

I have discussed around these issues in another video (Tulips, Crocuses, and Daffodils | A Journey of planting to storing BULBS), video is available on my channel. Tc
Does this all depend on the climate you live in? Like the different zones??
Normally bulbs don’t like warm weather.
So before I did research I peeled my bulbs white, can they still be saved?
I think they possibly will be fine as I do tends to have few bulbs without outer skin. Plant them and hope for best
Can you store them in a refrigerator?
I don’t think so, any cold medium will force them to produce new growth. Best to keep in room temperature.
Thank you for this informative video. I live in Goa, India and have crocosmia growing all year round which keep producing more bulbs and foliage but hardly ever flower. Do you suggest i take them out and refrigerate them for a while so that they are forced to flower?

My favourites are Crocuses, Daffodils and Hyacinth and goes well with Tulips. I uploaded a new video (Tulips, Crocuses, and Daffodils | A Journey of planting to storing BULBS) on my channel and can give you more information on this. All the best
Can I leave them in the pot after blooming?
I never tried this way, perhaps a good experiment to run.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great Information ❤️. I was wondering if you keep watering them while waiting for them to die out? Or just leave them alone to dry?
Summer on my side is not hot and we do get rain so pots are not always fully dry. I would suggest to give water. Perhaps I should try to see what happen if pots are dry during bulbs collection. All the best Shinta
