How does a tulip reproduce?
The bulb grows little bulbettes once they get big enough they will produce their own leaves and flower. Every few years in fall they should be lifted or dug up in fall and separated from the bulb and planted on their own and given some bone meal or bulb food. So they grow on their own and don't suck energy out of the mother plant. If you plan on lifting your bulbs mark them carefully in spring,. Before they die back, because ...If you're like me they're never where you thought they were. LOL Also dig a foot away and deeper than you think, and then feel the dirt you pulled out. So you don't damage them. The bulbettes will pull right off, kind of like an onion petal. If you were here I'd be talking with my hands now.
Reply:by vegetative reproduction (production of new bulbs) and by seed (flowering plants, develop seeds)...Hybrids are developed by seed method, bulb sales are bulbs from bulbs.
Reply:I think the bulb dies down every year and a new one is produced, sometimes the plant has twins - two bulbs ... hence the tulips multiply.
Reply:by having eggs
Reply:Tulips grow from bulbs. A lot of people dig the bulbs out of the ground when the blooming period is over (rather than keeping them as perennials). If you don't dig them up, they will continue to pop up every spring.


Try digging up your tulips and see if you can break apart the big clumps into smaller clumps, then spread them apart. That's how people propagate hostas.
