Water: Tulips require minimal watering, needing just initial watering after planting and occasional moisture during flowering. In small pots, more frequent watering is necessary, but avoid water accumulation. Garden-planted tulips usually rely on rain, with extra watering only needed in very dry conditions.

Fertilize: When planting tulips 'Pim Fortuyn', there's typically no need for fertilizer, as bulbs are discarded post-blooming. However, if soil quality is poor, incorporating balanced fertilizer or bone meal during planting can enhance growth.

Pruning: Tulips 'Pim Fortuyn' feature vibrant, cup-shaped flowers and sturdy stems. Prune in early spring, removing spent flowers to conserve energy. Only remove yellowing leaves when fully dead to aid nutrient storage. Proper pruning promotes healthy blooms and robust growth, based on established horticultural practices.

Propagation: Small bulbs can be collected from tulips 'Pim Fortuyn' in early spring. Plant them in a pot with soil, spaced three times their diameter. Cover with 3 cm of soil, keep moist in shade. After a year, combine with fertilizer, and within 2-3 years, they will flower.
