Soil Type

Water: Tulips have low water needs; watering once after planting is usually enough. Potted varieties may require occasional watering during flowering and continued moisture until the leaves wither. Small pots dry out faster, needing more frequent watering while preventing water accumulation. Garden-grown tulips typically rely on rainwater.

Fertilize: For tulips 'Sapporo', bulbs are typically discarded after blooming or stored post-summer, negating the need for fertilizer. However, if soil conditions are poor, incorporating balanced fertilizer or bone meal during planting can be beneficial.

Pruning: Tulips 'Sapporo' thrive with vibrant flowers and spring blooms. Prune yellowing foliage in early spring and remove spent flowers post-bloom to conserve energy. Employ sharp, clean tools to prevent disease, promoting healthy regrowth and sustained beauty in tulips 'Sapporo'.

Propagation: Collect small bulbs from tulips 'Sapporo' after winter or early spring for planting. Space them three times their diameter, cover with 3 cm of soil, and keep moist in shade. After a year, mix fertilizer for growth, with flowering possible in 2 to 3 years.
