How to grow tulips in pots

[@julieathome7793]

Hi all, I followed his method exactly last year and had a great success rate. I live in zone 7, and placed them under the bench on my covered porch throughout winter. I could have placed them in my unheated garage, but I didn’t want to risk inviting critters there. Tip: You may need to cover the pots with chicken wire or plastic sheets if you have squirrels in your area.

[@gabbinggaby]

This is very helpful as I am in zone 7 as well!

[@preciousshortie]

would putting them in an unheated shed work too? im in the same zone as you.

[@julieathome7793]

@@preciousshortie yes, it should be fine, take it out and start watering once you see leaves shooting up

[@preciousshortie]

Thanks!

[@Cmm474]

Thanks! Zone 7 also was wondering if my porch would be the safest spot. I’ll have to cover since we have squirrels.

[@kathyberal5623]

I've never had much luck growing tulips in pots-they end up rotting. Perhaps because I left them exposed to our -30 Canadian winters with lots of snow. I will take your suggestion and cover them this year in a much more sheltered spot. Fingers crossed that I, too, will have beautiful pots to beatify my front door. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the book.

[@achnix3167]

I think they just get too much water. Same for me last year ... I also want to try mixing in some grit so the soil is drained better

[@rulu3345]

Same, I tried last year in window boxes and a lot of them rotted, I wonder if I tried terra cotta planters if it might be a different outcome? (Southwestern Ontario)

[@kaleboy5741]

same thing happened to me! how disappointing and smelly! i think this year i'll leave them in the garage/shed and water them one a month as a test

@@nemkini We are aware that the production of tulips and other bulbs has its downsides, but a solution must be found. Maybe we should reduce the use of pesticides and increase the price of bulbs that are not expensive anyway.

[@valentina1980.]

I tried tulips for the first ime last year. I only had plastic pots and planted about 10. I planted in November and they started to appear really early...in February😐 And I planted them maybe too close to the top of the pot. I covered the pots with fishing net to keep the squirrels away. They came up beautifully but they were rather early and didn't last more than a month or so. I'm going to go per your instruction this time. Thank you, sir. This video was a joy to behold!! Ahhh, I just caught the end and you revealed to me I had planted tulips which were called "Queen of the night"❤

[@ClausDalbyEnglish]

A good rule of thumb to follow when planting bulbs is to place them at a depth of three times their own height. Enjoy!

[@mwallace2628]

Thanks for the key tips on covering the containers. Also, I never thought about packing in 20 bulbs on a 12 inch diameter container either; that’s what makes it look fuller.

So glad I watched this video last year. I took your advice and covered my pots planted with tulip bulbs. In the past the bulbs would rot out because I didn't cover them. This year my pots are full of gorgeous tulip leaves sprouting. I am anxiously waiting for the beautiful blooms. Thanks Mr. Dalby.

Dear Claus, thanks a lot for this tutorial! It‘s perfect! Now I know the diameter of the pot and how many bulbs it contains. The video is very inspiring. Next week I‘ll go on a hunt for beautiful white and pink tulip bulbs. I also love the idea of using red salad in the arrangement. Your hint for well watering and than covering the pots is great!

Thank you so much for talking about how to grow tulips in pots.

[@amyhoff1501]

That’s exactly what happened to my tulips last year because I left my pots outside all winter and the drainage holes got frozen shut and every single bulb rotted and I ended up with nothing this spring, thank you 🙏 for talking about what I did wrong

[@tonyshen6450]

I think he watered too much. It is very important to know your zone. I think he lives in a less harsh winter region. that is why he could do what he did. I live in Zone4 in the US. Last Fall I planted tulips in big pot and kept them outside until 3 weeks after the frost around Christmas time. Then I moved the pot in the garage against the outside wall. In the coldest time during the winter, that spot was 26--28 degrees. I moved the pot out when night temperature was around 30. I got great bloom. I failed many times before last year. The tulips do need a few weeks of below freezing temperature,

[@karie3]

I tried with daffodils and tulips and most of them rotted. For some reason I was under the impression they would need to be watered throughout the winter. I thought because bulbs in the ground get so much moisture with all the rain and snow, I figured in containers they would need some water too. I am also in zone 5. I will try again this winter and cover them.

Your containers are always a dream. However, what I miss in this video is that covering the pots and storing them for the winter is not shown.
