How to water Potted tulips

How frequently should I water my indoor potted tulip and how much water should I give it?


Doug says that you water with the "finger test". Put your finger on the soil - if it's dry, you soak the pot. If your finger comes away wet, then you do not water.

Each individual soil and home will have different watering needs. A pot in a sunny windowsill will require more water than one in a shadier area.

So there is no hard and fast answer - there is only the finger test to see if the plant needs water.
