The bulbs should be ok for next year, yes? I put 8 bulbs in a pot 16" across and 12" deep. Should I add fertilizer too ?
Tulips are normally treated as annuals in South Carolina so you don't need to fertilize. Plant in November or December for best results.
If you didn't mulch your containers go ahead and do that. They should be fine outside.

I'm trying to get tulip bulbs to bloom in South Texas. The bulbs are in a container and the leaves have already started growing. The temperatures have been fluctuating from 50's at night to high 70's during the day. What should I do?
You may get tulips soon! Since you are in the south, I am assuming you purchased pre-chilled bulbs. They should be fine as long as you don't get a freeze anytime soon. If one is predicted, just bring the pot indoors till warm weather resumes.
Can i use liquid Chlorpyrifos in bulb flowers with mixing in water? There are termites and other soil worms eating and damaging my flower bulbs. Please give full details.
Here is a fact sheet about chlorpyrifos. I don't know what pesticides are available for home use in India, but it is no longer registered for residential use in the U.S. Chlorpyrifos can be harmful if touched, inhaled or eaten. It also remains in the soil for weeks to years before it breaks down completely. It is toxic to birds, fish and other wildlife.
Termites don't normally eat bulbs. You may be seeing flying ants.
Remember too if you use a soil pesticide it will also kill beneficials like earthworms. Here are common pests of bulbs.

After the plants have started to come up out of the ground, can I transplant bulbs?
It is not recommended. It is best to wait till the bulb has flowered and the foliage has died back, usually summer or fall.

I received a plant that was beautiful, someone said it was a spring bulb plant, sadly no one knows what it was, but I would like to plant it outside at the correct time, if it is a bulb, what do I do with it now? It has leaves green turning brown at tips. flowers are gone, wish I had taken a pic when it was flowering. smells pretty and citadel flowers
Plant it now. That is the easiest and surest thing to do. Some spring bulbs, like tulips, require a winter chill period which can complicate growing spring bulbs in Texas. If you do an online search for "Texas spring bulbs" and look over the images, you may find your plant. Then write back or search for "growing X in Texas". One of us may be able to identify the plant by the leaves that are currently showing. It isn't such a long shot, either.
i planted a sarah bernhardt peony bulb a few hours ago but im worried i may have planted it a bit deeper than necessary, would i be able to remove some soil from the top tomorrow or sometime this week? its a bit dark at the moment
I am a novice at gardening. I thought I was doing the right thing by removing the bulbs from the container. The bulbs are all dried out. Can I or how can I save them and plant them in the ground? I still have 3 containers left? Thank you.
Most bulbs may be removed from the pot after all the blooms and foliage have died. Separate the bulbs from the old soil and store them in a cool dark place before planting them again in the fall.
