Best Practices for Bulb Care

For optimal bulb growth, plant them at the recommended depth with good drainage. Control pests by applying a layer of mulch to deter insects and rodents. Water bulbs regularly during growth periods but reduce watering after flowering. Fertilize bulbs in the spring with a low-nitrogen fertilizer to avoid excessive foliage growth. When harvesting bulbs, wait until the foliage has turned yellow and dried out before digging them up.
