How to Care for the Plant

Water
Watering tulip bulbs in pots is a little different. plants in containers dry out much faster than those in the ground and need more frequent watering, and tulip plant watering is no different. you don't want your tulips to stand in water and still want to make sure your container drains well, but you will have to water occasionally. For growing outdoors, watering once a week will be enough.
Pruning
Dead fronds and leaves can be removed.
Fertilizer
When it comes to fertilizers, you want to avoid over-fertilizing (just like an overdose of vitamins isn't great for us, either). Less is more, so it’s important to follow what the package says for application amounts.
