Soil Type

Water: Biflora tulip prefers environments with moderate moisture and good drainage, requiring watering every 1-2 weeks. It thrives outdoors, benefiting from natural rain during its active growing season to support healthy bulb development.

Fertilize: Fertilize biflora tulip in early spring with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season for optimal growth and blooms. Avoid over-fertilization; during dormancy, do not fertilize. Apply granular fertilizer around the base and water thoroughly afterward.

Pruning: Biflora tulip features delicate white blooms in early spring and responds well to minimal pruning. Remove dead foliage post-flowering and yellowing leaves in late spring to promote healthy growth and future blooms, ensuring biflora tulip remains robust and visually appealing.

Propagation: Biflora tulip is propagated through division by separating offsets from the mother bulb after flowering. Replant in well-draining soil at three times the bulb's height. Ensure adequate spacing, and provide regular watering and fertilization for healthy growth in the next season.
