Colorful and lush tulips: here’s how to do it
The ideal soil in which to plant tulips and bulbous plants is well drained and soft, well lit, but not directly exposed to sunlight. Store them in a rather dry place, sheltered from drafts and rain.

Instead, opt for a liquid type, which is lighter and easier to absorb, but don’t exaggerate with the quantities so as not to water them down.
Without having to resort to expensive and unavailable chemical products, you can easily do it yourself, at no cost.
Then get:
- water, 300 ml
- banana, 1 peel only
- coffee, 3 coffee grounds or 3 pods.
The banana provides potassium, which is very useful for making your flowers lush, the coffee releases nitrogen which oxygenates and makes the colors bright.

Filter the contents directly into the watering can and use it to wet the soil approximately every fifteen days.
You will see an exceptional flowering!
