Tulips belong to the Lily family <em>(Liliaceae)<\/em>. Tulips are native to Turkey and were brought to Europe in the sixteenth century.<br>\nTulips need a period of cold to grow; they cannot be grown in a warm climate. Therefore, plant tulip bu<wbr><\/wbr>lbs also in autumn (October is the best month) and before the first night frost.<br>\nTulips like a sunny spot (semi-shade is also acceptable) and clay-like, not too wet soil; tulips do not like wet feet. Too heavy clay soil can be improved by mixing it with sand.<br>\nPlanting depth <u>+<\/u> 18 cm, distance between bu<wbr><\/wbr>lbs about 14 cm. With small tulips, a little less; with tall tulips, a little more.<br>\nOnce the tulip begins to fall out, cut away the stem and clean up flower remnants. This prevents diseases and fungi from settling in the flower remains. Leave the leaves in place and do not remove them even when they wither: the nutrients from the leaves return into the bulb. The tulips will multiply (some varieties a little more than others), therefore the flowers will get smaller and smaller, but there will be more and more of them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Bugs&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532164328547{background-color: #585858 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]Leaf is eaten away: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/snails-and-slugs\/\" target=\"_blank\" title='[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text el_id=\"topentry\" el_class=\"topentry\"]Slugs are especially active at night; they like a moist environment.
