Tulips are available in yellow, pink, black, purple, red and white and the colours have different languages.


Tulips can be grown in gardens or in pots.


Garden planting: Before planting tulips, the seed balls should be treated at a low temperature of 5°C or 9°C and planted directly into the soil in late October.


For potted plants, choose a suitable pot, add soil and bury the seed balls so that the top of the seed ball is flush with the surface of the soil.


Tulips in the garden should be planted in rows 14-16cm apart, with sufficient fertiliser and a mulch depth of 4cm, with a depth of 15-20cm.


A thin fertiliser should be applied 2-4 times during germination and flowering.


For pot planting, choose a 10-20cm diameter pot in the Central Section.


Bedding the pots with rubble, masonry etc. as a drainage layer and adding fertile, well-drained soil.


It is important to note here that the soil should be selected with fresh soil and that old planted soil should not be consumed to prevent infection by pests and diseases.


How to plant in pots: Plant 1-2 seedpods in 10-15cm pots and 3-5 seedpods in 18-20cm pots, the top of the seedpods should be flush with the surface of the soil when planting.


After planting, place in a cool place for 3-5 days to observe, then water thoroughly and keep outside.


Water when the surface of the pot is under 1cm.


From December to February each year the entire pot should be covered with plastic wrap and placed outdoors in a ventilated, sunny place where the roots can grow at 5°C.


The pot should be watered thoroughly and not dry out.


Tulips are suitable for couples to give to each other.


There is another legend about tulips. In Holland, it is said that three knights fell in love at the same time with a beautiful maiden who lived in a castle.


To express their love for the maiden, the three knights gave her a crown, a sword and a treasure.


The maiden, unable to choose between the three suitors, asked the god of flowers to turn her into a flower.


The god of flowers granted the maiden's request and turned her into a flower spirit, transforming the crown, sword and treasure into flowers, green leaves and bulbs respectively, and naming the flower after the maiden's name, the tulip.


The legend suggests that the maiden received the love of three knights at the same time, and that the tulip evolved into the embodiment of love.


So that on Valentine's Day each year, couples who used to use roses to express their love have an additional choice.
