Water: Tulips 'Libretto Parrot' require low water, needing only one watering post-planting. During blooming, ensure soil moisture in pots. After flowering, maintain moisture until leaves wither. Small pots need more frequent watering, avoiding excess. Rainwater suffices in gardens unless conditions are very dry.

Fertilize: For tulips 'Libretto Parrot', typically used as one-time bulbs, there's no need for fertilizer after blooming. If soil quality is poor, incorporate balanced fertilizer or bone meal during planting.

Pruning: Tulips 'Libretto Parrot' feature vibrant, fringed petals. Prune post-bloom in late spring and remove spent flowers, leaving leaves until they yellow for energy transfer. Avoid cutting green foliage to support next season's growth. Use sharp, sterilized tools for pruning to maintain health and encourage blooming.

Propagation: Small bulbs can be collected from tulips 'Libretto Parrot' and planted in prepared pots. Space them three times their diameter, cover with 3 cm of soil, and keep in a shady spot with moist soil. After one year, they can be fertilized and planted together, flowering in 2-3 years.
