By ensuring the right depth, you will help the stem grow strong enough to successfully support the flower.
4. Water Wisely
It’s also important to remember that tulips only need a moderate amount of water.
Over-watering can lead to weak stems, and under-watering can simply stress out the plant.
So, while you want to ensure the soil is moist, be careful that it doesn’t get waterlogged.
5. Support With Stakes
Now, if you have particularly tall or large-flowered tulips, you can consider using stakes to provide extra support.
Just be sure to place the stakes carefully into the soil to avoid damaging the bulbs.
6. Fertilize For Strength
Providing a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can also give tulips the nutrients they need to grow strong stems.
Just be careful to avoid over-fertilizing since this can just do more harm than good.
