​@@somadas2517it reads like they are planted into the soil in the garden rather than containers.

I grow tulips here in MN, in the ground and leave them year around. I dig them up every 3-5 years to separate them but plant most back in the same area. They return year after year and multiply fast. Have done this for several years without any problems. Yes some do rot and some get eaten, but I still have a good display every year. Oh yeah, about those dried up ones you throw out. Some of those will grow if you soak them in water, or as I sometimes do, put them in a damp area so the melting snow and early spring rains keep them wet. They can sometimes come back if not to far gone, even planted in pots. I treat my daffodils the same way.

A good way to deal with fungus/mold on bulbs (including veg tubers) is Stearamine. A cousin to Bartender's Friend, bar sanitizing water solution. Can be bought and used like a dip, then air dry the bulb - and the mold and schmuck will be killed off - while the bulb remains unharmed. Further protection happens in the soil (soil blight one-celled virus, powdery mildew, fungus, molds, etc) will also protect the bulb during its growth.

Potted Tulips for the first time in 2022 and was so happy. Plan to pot more in 2023!! Think I'm going to do a whole row of them in the back of the house in all colors!

Last year, I grew around 800 for my cut flower farm in the ground. This year, I'm doing 2400 in the ground, and I'm currently forcing 200 in crates.

I’ve resorted to pot planting tulips and other bulbs due to squirrels. I use the chicken wire also to keep the those buggers out from digging. Thanks Brian for another great video!

How cool!!!! I never knew about layering bulbs - game changer ! Thank you !

I used to not care about tulips, after one year I planted some in pots I can never go another year without plant them, they are so so beautiful! Thank you for the Friday video!

I've never grown tulips because I thought they were perennials and I live in an apartment so I didn't want to spend money on something that I would have to leave in the ground if I moved. But the pots are a great idea. I'm in 6a so I'll have to try and remember to try it this fall. If you did a little video reminding us in the fall I'd be grateful cause I know I won't remember lol

Actually you can buy them now (sometimes you can find them cheaper then in the fall) keep them in the fridge for a couple months and then plant them right before spring. The bulbs need that cold period (that’s why people plant them in fall in the ground), but in pots you can do them now on a balcony and let them overwinter. Just do as he said about watering and they should come up for you in spring.

Great video! Thank you! I've done these in pots and half whiskey barrels for a long time now and the display is dramatic and stunning! I have pots on tables and steps and porch and whiskey barrels on the edge of my back patio pad. It's so awesome to see the first crocus bulbs emerge and then each layer continue to bloom. I've had flowers for months and it's so enjoyable. I remember the first year I tried it and was so excited and it still thrills me! I've shared it with so many people and they are so surprised! It's a great way to welcome Spring and so easy! I actually and still putting some in this month too! I had them all planted and then....there was a sale! lol I have another 200+ to plant! :)

Thank you so much for all the tips how to grow tulips in pots. Great video!❤️

You could put a straw or stick in between the bulbs on the bottom layer than add soil, than add next layer bulbs and sticks so you can give the lower bulbs a more direct route up. Then pull those sticks out after you're done making your "lasagna ". Looks great. Love your videos. Thank you

I use Honey in water to dip my bulbs to clean them. It's organic, a natural antibiotic wash. Let air dry and store like ur onions. Long narrow mess bags. Separate out the baby bulbs. To save money you can bake your own garden dirt in an old or foil 13x9 pan at 350*f for about 10mins. This will sterilize your soil. In warmer states you can bury ur bulbs for storage just below the Frost line. But in Ohio or Michigan u might have to go 8ft lol so a garage in a pot is better lol. I love the lasagna pot idea 💡 Thanks for another great video ❣️

Love splashes of color for the pollinators in my garden. Especially those hard-to-grow-in areas. From one zone 10a gardener to another, thank you!

So helpful!! Loved the layering idea!!! Thank you. I need pots, too-shrews (voles). VORACIOUS!!!!

Very good video. I never knew you could layer bulbs like that. Really good info.

I’m in Tx, zone 8a, and I just planted my tulip and allium bulbs today. This will be my second year to garden, and my first year to plant tulips and alliums. I did dahlias in 2022, and boy were they fussy plants! Tulips sound much less fussy! Tyfs about tulip lasagna! 💕

Thanks for experimenting for us - looking forward to the results. Normally plant tulips in the ground - zone 5a - but thought I'd try some in pots this year.

Lasagna bulb planting in a pot is great and has lovely results! This year I decided to do a color mix of the same type of small tulip but planted them in one layer. I'm looking forward to seeing how yours do at different layers! I also have to use wire because the squirrels bury their nuts from the neighbors' trees. 🫣🌰🐿️

That's interesting. Didn't know you could layer. Fantastic. Wife will be pleased this summer. She usually buys bulbs for me to plant for her.

Good luck! I don't even know where my bulbs are, total chaos with the move. Still not done with the kitchen and my bedroom.... I hope I will have a garden and chickens. Great video Brian! Blessings 🙏❤️🤗

Maybe they were specific varieties (or possibly my zone 5b) but we've always had tulips as perennials here along with daffodils and hyacinths. Beautiful little pretties telling us it's spring! I would love to try in pots just to be able to move them wherever I'd like. Great info, thank you!

Did anyone else get distracted by the hummingbird…around 8:58 or so?! Thanks for the great idea Brian. I’m going to have to try the lasagna technique and see how it works.

Hello from Norway. I grow tulips in the ground. It is between -15 to +10 celcius her in the wintermonths. Perfect for tulips and other spring bulbs.

Last year was my first spring with tulips. I left them in the ground to see if they come back. I'm in Oklahoma 7A and I've seen some people say they keep coming back here and some say they don't so they plant new ones every year. I want something that comes back every year so we will see in a couple of months.

I love tulips they are my favorite flower .been wanting to plant them but didn't know how to plant the bulbs .and now i know i can now plant it pointy side up. Thank you for the information. Now i can follow along and i cant wait to see those beautiful colors of the tulips . thank you once again. Later.

Thank you. Very useful video as I'm just about to plant my tulips. Will keep you posted. Fingers crossed.

I live in zone 5a northwest Illinois and plant my tulips in hardware cloth boxes in the ground to protect them from squirrels and voles.. I make a removable cover that is taken off once they break through the soil and replace it once the foliage dies back. They return for 5 or 6 seasons. Box tops are hidden by other perennial plants. I might try adding some muscari into the tops of this boxes this fall.

Planted 50 here in Illinois in October, ready to see what I got in my small bed, I might try doing the different depth with different bulbs because I really want the bed to have something going all spring and summer.

I have planted in ground and in raised beds. They are fine for a few years then fade away. But while they are going? So beautiful!

Thank you for this! I can have beautiful tulips right at my front door this way!

The squirrels are now chewing through the fiber mesh cloth I placed on top of my garden plants in my grow bags now and I need to probably put a piece of wire mesh cloch around the pot edges, so my project tomorrow....

Never grown bulbs before. Vegetables and roses, primarily.

I usually have problems with my bulbs getting moldy if I forget to check on them (and dry them off) while they are in the fridge. I have a separate mini fridge that I keep them in because I've had problems with them not blooming well due to all the fruit and veg I keep in the fridge. I mostly grow mine in the ground, but have put them in pots as well. I LOVE TULIPS! and it's a bit more work to grow here in So Cal. Also, do you still have your cats? Just wondering if they have helped with the rodent issues.

Can you cold stratify in the freezer? To shorten the time needed?

I gotta love when you say they need to be planted 7 inches deep then you plant your top layer only 2 inches deep.

Very knowledgeable. Great Channel. We need Channels like this. What is going on will all of these other channels, deceiving their audiences with carefully crafted props that are meant to give the illusion of a "garden hack", but in actuality, NO you can't grow an apple tree out of an apple, an orange tree out of an orange, or a banana tree, by smearing aloe vera on both ends and cramming it into the dirt.

I've pretty much given up on tulips. Mine always seem to get attacked by aphids shortly after they emerge from the ground. They gather right at or just a little below the soil level and the leaves grow up stunted and weak. I've also had these tiny curled up ivory coloured worms appear. 😞

My tulips come back every year. I do nothing to them. Some years squirrels get some, most years they leave them alone. They are in a pot. I leave them in the pot all year round in 8b (western WA)
