When the leaves yellow, dig up the bulbs, clip the plant back to the base of the bulb, brush off the soil and set the bulbs in a cool, dry place to dry out. The bulbs store best in a netted bag placed in a dark, well-ventilated place at 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Instructions. Plant tulip bulbs in fall, around the first frost date in your area. All tulips require a cold resting time in fall in order to bloom. Use pots at least 6 inches deep with drainage holes for tulips, to accommodate their roots and keep them from sitting in water.Fill the pots halfway with quick-draining potting soil, and set the tulip bulbs on the soil with their noses pointing up.lant tulip bulbs closely, but never place them close enough to touch each other. Fill the pots to within 1 inch of the surface with more potting soil. Water the tulips until water runs out of the drainage hole in the pot, then set them outside for the winter. Move tulips indoors again when their stems are 1 inch long.
