If you had the pot outside and have just noticed the growth now, then sure, you can bring them in and treat them like you did when you first received them last year. No fertilizer is required at this stage—the time for fertilizing is after they flower, before the foliage dies down.

My tulips have only leaves no flowers now for 2 years what should I do? Liz on May 25, at am. Elisa Griscom on March 2, at am. Jennifer on March 3, at pm. We found even with hybrid tulips the display is paltry after the first year. Tulips need nourishment to help the bulbs rebloom. How much I can't say. From our experience we never put enough it seems. Also I think the type of bulb makes a difference because we have had some haphazard bulbs I've bought here and there that did show well the second year.
My suggestion is just replant each fall there are places on line with good deals for large number of bulbs or just go to your local stores and buy them. Why be disappointed each year. Sarah Birch Landing Home on May 18, Thank you!
We leave them in the ground each year and it's old here New England , so that's probably it AHavlicek on May 18, You can just copy and paste the url in the first window and get the answers several of them. I have the same problem with many of my bulbs. I get leaves, but no flowers. Jane on May 18, After they are finished blooming, just remove the spent flower and its stem.
Leave all leaves alone until that die back. I have had the same tulips for at least twenty years. LaurieAnn Lepoff on May 18, Tulips need a frozen winter to bloom. When you buy the bulbs they come pre chilled, but unless you dig them up and put them in the fridge every winter and then replant, they won't bloom in mild winter areas.
RhondaCordes on May 18, SE Oklahoma here. We rarely get more than a few days below freezing temps each winter so the ground never freezes. Guess I got some very tough bulbs! Fall leaves are perfect for this. Some bulb sellers say warm spells after fall planting can trigger growth including buds, which the cold weather will eventually kill off, cancelling out a chance of spring buds and blooms.
Probably the greater risk with early planting is the spread of fungal diseases that may travel with new bulbs. Did yours show any sign of distress or disease? One helpful tip for good timing is to plant your hardy fall bulbs when the trees are dropping their leaves. This could reduce the likelihood of fungal problems and allow time for roots to establish before winter. If you have grown bulbs before, you know you can often pack quite a number in a small space and still get lots of flowers.
But, as bulbs multiply, there may eventually be so many that they are fighting for resources light, water, nutrients. Keep any baby bulbs you see. They will mature and flower in a few years.
Competition from other plants or trees can also compromise your bulbs. Keep the weeds and creeping perennials out and do not plant bulbs amongst shallow tree roots. If there is not enough sun, for example, you can also transplant your bulbs to a better location. Most bulbs like well-draining soil. You can use the test here to check your drainage. The workaround is to grow bulbs in large containers with potting mix and protect them from freezing over the winter months or plant them in raised beds with better soil.
Once they are withered, that means their work is done, so no tidying up before then.
