What are the water needs for Siam Tulip
Siam Tulip should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Siam Tulip
Siam Tulip loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
