Compared to other plants, flower bulbs are low-maintenance plants. Aside from weeding and fertilizing areas planted for multiple-year flowering, there are few other specific requirements. Care must be taken not to hoe too deeply when weeding borders because this could damage bulbs beneath the surface. If extensive hoeing is needed, it would be advisable to plant the bulbs somewhat deeper than indicated on the packaging.

Plantings intended for one-year flowering require no additional maintenance at all!

A customised fertilizing program keeps plants healthy and resistant to pathogens and pests and also cuts down on the use of chemical control agents. Proper fertilizing also ensures a good soil structure. (more)

As a rule, mowing grass strips containing flower bulbs is not started until an average of 6 to 8 weeks after flowering. (more)

Tulips planted for multiple-year flowering should be deadheaded once the flowers start to fade. This prevents the development of seedpods, a process that uses the plant’s energy resources to produce seeds instead of new bulbs. (more)

Flower bulbs that propagate quickly produce large clusters of bulbs. When these clusters become too large, their individual bulbs do not grow as well. (more)

Flower bulbs planted in a habitat simulating their natural habitat will slowly increase in number. Any diseases or pests will generally be kept under control by a balanced biodiversity. . (more)
