How to fertilize Garden Tulip

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Garden Tulip: repot after 2X growth

Garden Tulip Humidity Needs →


🪴 Soil

Garden Tulip does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!

When and How to Successfully Repot Garden Tulip →


💩 Fertilizer

Garden Tulip should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!


❄️ Dormancy

It’s common for Garden Tulip to go dormant in the summertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
