Soil Type

Water: Tulips 'Banja Luka' have low water needs, requiring watering just once after planting. During flowering, maintain soil moisture with occasional watering, especially in pots. After flowering, keep moisture until leaves wilt. Garden tulips 'Banja Luka' may only need rainwater unless conditions are very dry.

Fertilize: Tulips 'Banja Luka' is typically treated as one-time bulbs, discarded after blooming or stored post-digging in summer. Fertilizer is unnecessary unless soil quality is poor, in which case a balanced fertilizer or bone meal can be mixed in during planting.

Pruning: Prune tulips 'Banja Luka' after late spring flowering to promote bulb health and future blooms. Remove spent flowers but let foliage die back naturally; avoid cutting green leaves as they aid nutrient storage. This recommended timing supports optimal growth for the next growing season.

Propagation: Collect small bulbs formed around tulips 'Banja Luka' after winter or early spring. Space bulbs three times their diameter, cover with 3 cm of soil, and keep in shade with moist soil. After one year, multiple bulbs can be planted together. They will flower in 2 to 3 years.
