Stupid question about spring bulbs

[SillyOlivePanda]

Very novice gardener 🙈 I planted some daffodil and tulip bulbs in the autumn and to my surprise they’ve grown 🤣 and look lovely. Was just thinking when they’ve died what do I do with them to make sure they grown back next year? Do I cut the stems down to the soil line or something else? Thank you

You take the flower off but leave the leaves as long as possible to give energy to the bulb so it will flower next year

As above, the longer you can leave them to die back naturally the better the displays in years to come

give them a feed (tomato feed will do) and leave them.
some of them will not come up again though, depending on the variety.

if hou want a tidy garden you can dig them up, put them in a pot to put behind the shed. but I never bothered and rather spend another tenner on new bulbs each autumn

My daffodils come up for years and years, but my tulips tend to be smaller the 2nd year and then just leaves. Not sure if there's a way of keeping tulips blooming? I tend to buy new each autumn

Leave the leaves,feed yes tomato feed will do
Agree tulips tend to get smaller
We grow them in pots works better easier to feed them,plus some of the ones in open ground got scoffed,mice and slugs.

Brilliant, thank you everyone.

Tulips it depends on the variety, some will naturalise and just keep going. Others are a year or 2 and done.
