What to do with Tulip bulbs after flowering?

[MissFoodie]

Do I cut down and they will grow back?
clueless

I think you cut off the flower (stops energy going into seed growth) but leave everything else and let it die back. That way the nutrients are sucked back into the bulb for next year.

Don't have to dig up and replant like some bulbs. I think fertilising would help with flowering next season; don't know when though.

ok thanks, they're in a pot, do I cut stem just under flower? or at base?

take the flower off and let the greeery die back.

Leave the leaves until they start to go brown then remove them. If you let them rot down into the soil they can harbour tulip diseases.

ok, just cut flowers off today, will wait for leaves to go brown, then cut them off at the base?

That'll do the trick.
