Water:
Tulips 'Greenstar' requires low water, needing watering once after planting. Potted plants require occasional moisture during flowering; maintain soil moisture until leaves wither. Small pots need more frequent watering, avoiding water accumulation. Garden tulips 'Greenstar' can rely on rain unless in extremely dry conditions.
Fertilize:
Tulips 'Greenstar' is typically treated as one-time bulbs, discarded post-bloom or stored after summer. Fertilizer is unnecessary unless soil conditions are poor; in such cases, incorporate balanced fertilizer or bone meal at planting.
Pruning:
Tulips 'Greenstar' requires minimal pruning focused on health rather than shape, ideally from early to late spring. Remove spent flowers and cut back diseased foliage to support bulb development and prevent infections. Use clean, sharp tools for effective cuts, promoting robust blooms for the next season.
Propagation:
Collect small bulbs from tulips 'Greenstar' in early spring. Plant them in prepared soil, spacing three times their diameter, and cover with 3 cm of soil. Keep the pot in shade and moist. After a year, mix fertilizer for growth; expect flowering in 2-3 years.
