Step 1
Watering The Plants
1) Add about 1 more inch of water every week
after the plant starts flowering if the rainfall
is not adequate enough in your area.
2) Don't shallow water as the plant may be
planted pretty deep and the water needs to soak
through to the roots.

Step 2
Remove Foliage
1) Foliage is leftover from the bloom and is not
a pretty sight. You should refrain form it and
only cut away the foliage when it has dried up .
2) Foliage on smaller bulbs will not take long to
dry(like in the case of Snowdrops or Squill) but
larger bulb's (like Tulips) foliage will take a
long time to dry out.

Provide Support To The Bulbs

support themselves.
2) Usually a ring around the stems gives them
enough support or you may plant a stake during
planting taking care not to damage the bulb

moisture of the bed and also cools the plants if
there is too much heat.

protect it from frost and replant it when the

ventilated place and replant them in Fall.
3)This method prevents overcrowding by
spreading the bulbs.

huge roots.
