Tuberose bulbs: How to look around and how to properly care for them

The bulbs of the tuberose are the main part for propagating the plant, and they must be planted in well-prepared soil in order for the plant to grow and bloom again with its beautiful white flowers.

Growing Tuberose bulbs requires certain conditions and care to ensure the successful development of the plant. The bulbs should be planted in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It is important to avoid stagnant water as this can cause the bulbs to rot.

Where and when to plant Tuberose bulbs?

The best time to plant tuberose bulbs is in spring when the soil has warmed up and the night temperature does not drop below 10 degrees. The plant prefers a warm and sunny climate, which means it should be planted in a spot with direct sun or in a slightly shaded spot with temperatures between 20 and 30°C.

Tuberose does not tolerate frost or cold well, so if you are growing it in a colder climate, you should protect it in winter by removing the bulbs and storing them in a warm, dry place.

The planting depth should be no less than 5 cm and no more than 10 cm depending on soil characteristics. In light soils plant deeper and vice versa. The distance from bulb to bulb is recommended to be at least 15 centimeters.

How often are tuberose bulbs watered?

Watering of tuberose bulbs should be moderate. After planting, it is important to keep the soil slightly moist but not too wet. In summer, watering can be more frequent, especially if the weather is dry, but excessive watering should be avoided to avoid root rot.
