Water: Tulips 'Lambada' has low water requirements. Water once after planting; potted varieties need occasional watering during flowering, then keep soil moist until leaves wither. Small pots dry out faster, requiring more frequent watering. Garden plants usually rely on rainwater, supplemented only during dry spells.

Fertilize: Tulips 'Lambada' bulbs are typically discarded after blooming or stored during summer, eliminating the need for fertilizer. If soil quality is poor, a balanced fertilizer or bone meal may be added during planting for better growth.

Pruning: Tulips 'Lambada' requires careful pruning, ideally from early to late spring post-blooming. Remove spent flowers and foliage to boost bulb energy for growth. Wait for foliage to yellow before cutting. Regular deadheading promotes healthier blooms and reduces disease, ensuring vibrant displays in future seasons.

Propagation: Small bulbs from tulips 'Lambada' can be collected and planted in early spring. Space them three times their diameter in a pot with 3 cm of soil cover. Keep the pot shaded and moist. After 1 year, bulbs can be fertilized and grown together for 2-3 years until flowering.
