Therefore, many are concerned about the question of when to transplant tulips and whether to do it.

Some flowers are transplanted annually, but most of them can grow normally in one place from two to five years. There are those who do not like frequent changes of place, but tulips do not belong to them. Spring handsome men need to be transplanted every two or three years.

Many people care about the question of when to transplant tulips, because they are very capricious and wrong actions can destroy the most expensive, valuable and beloved varieties. For this procedure, you need to carefully prepare and do everything in accordance with the rules. When tulips are transplanted, they first look at their appearance. Some gardeners advise digging bulbs in early August, when they are already ripe well, but most get them out of the ground in late June or early July. If two or three leaves and the scales of the bulbs turn yellow, then you can dig them out.
Tulips should be stored in a well-ventilated room with a humidity of 70% and a temperature of about 25 ° C. It is advisable that direct
sunlight not enter the room
, as they will leave a burn on the bulbs. In the open air, you can also store them, only under the condition of shelter from the sun. Dry bulbs should be cleaned of earth, old scales and diseased roots. Then they need to be sorted by size and grade, put into boxes with holes for ventilation. It is important to monitor the humidity in the room, adhere to a certain temperature regime. The room should not be exposed to direct sunlight and a draft.
The time when replanting tulips also depends on the climatic features of the region. On the new site they need to be planted in September, when the temperature of the earth will be about 10 ° C. Bulbs should be buried to a depth of 10 cm. In warm regions, sometimes planting is carried out in November. When the time comes to transplant tulips, it is necessary to prepare the soil. The site should not be flooded in spring, so if there is such a problem, the place for future planting of flowers needs to be raised, adding land. As fertilizer, humus, mowed grass and ash should be used - they will give the plant all the necessary nutrients. So that the bulbs do not freeze in winter, it is necessary to cover the planting site with fallen leaves or dry grass.
You can transplant tulips in the spring, but in this case they will not bloom this season. In extreme cases, you need to carefully dig them out and plant them together with a lump of earth in the right place, this will help not to damage the roots. All flowers require care and attention, with proper care they bloom beautifully, do not die out. Tulips are not too capricious, but they are very beautiful and harmoniously combined with other spring plants.
