How to care for tulips in pot indoors

Question

I just bought a pot with three tulips that are about to bloom. I live in Miami. My wife will care for them. What to do?

Answer 1

Keep the soil barely moist, fertilize occasionally with a water soluble fertilizer for blooming plants, and provide very bright light. The foliage will eventually die, at which point you will stop watering, unpot the plant, remove the withered foliage and store the bulb in a cool dry location until fall when you plant it in the ground.
