Take them out of the water.....let them dry out. Keep them in a dry place, can be your garage or basement pretty much anywhere. (Place them in a brown paper bag after they are good and dried out) Next fall plant them....next spring you will have your tulips again! Some people dig their bulbs each year and replant in the fall, but they will do fine year after year just leaving them in the ground. Good Luck!!
I got a Valentine present of tulip bulbs in water and they have now finished blooming. What do I do next?
Bulbs that have been forced usually have lost too much strength to be a good outdoor plant next year. You could plant the bulbs about 6-8 inches deep outside in an out-of-the way place, but in my opinion, you will only get straggling leaves in the coming years, with a random single tulip now and then.
