hello everyone.. i have a problem with my tulips this year.. they have not flowered as well as normal.. i was wondering if it was because of the dry weather we have had down south.. or do they have to be lifted and divided like other bulbs.. Hey

bigger pot, not more than 2 " wider.  I wouldn't bother dividing the two plants as their roots will be so intertwined it would only damage them and set them back.   Next spring, water them with liquid rose or tomato food to encourage flower buds. Thank

to be effective. Best to use it after bulbs have died down in spring but, again, I would dig over at that time. Lift the bulbs when flowering is over, clean soil and replant I suspected that would be the case, unfortunatly for me there is about 100 sq. metres

you Lyon I wouldn't for the summer months when the tree needs water-but would grow spring flowering bulbs to come up from now onwards-these take little from the soil and die back by June. Yes Geoff did consider bulbs, thanks sotongeoff wrote (see

be ok. It tends to die away after flowering and rweturns the following Spring. All the rest will eventually spread either by seed or by splitting but that will take at least a couple of years for the clumps to build up enough for you to split them up
