You’ll want to water the soil regularly to make sure that it’s moist, but not soggy. To check this, occasionally poke your finger 1 inch (2.5 cm) into the soil and water the soil if it’s dry.  If you are keeping the pots outside, only water the bulbs if it doesn’t rain for over a week. Continue watering the bulbs during the dormancy phase. Tulips need sunlight but don’t do well in extremely high temperatures. For this reason, keep them out of direct sunlight during the spring and summer. If you’re keeping the tulips inside, place them next to a window so that they can get enough sun every day.  You can keep your pots under the partial shade of a tree or under an awning to keep them out of direct sunlight. The soil in a pot will often get hotter than the soil in a yard or garden. Avoid using dark-colored pots, since they will absorb the sunlight and increase the soil temperature. Let the petals and leaves on the tulips turn yellow for 6 weeks before plucking them from the flower. If the petals or leaves fall off, remove them from the pot to prevent rot to the rest of the bulb. Removing dead petals will encourage the tulips to bloom again the next year. If the tulips are stunted in growth or exhibit brown or yellow patches over them, it's likely they have a disease or may be infested with pests like nematodes. To prevent the disease from spreading, dig up the bulbs of any tulips that exhibit these signs of sickness and throw them away.  Prevent squirrels and other animals from eating your tulips by keeping them indoors, putting a wire mesh over the soil, or fencing them in. Common tulip diseases include basal rot, root rot, and tulip fire, a fungal disease. Do not plant tulip bulbs that have white fungus on them, because it can spread and hurt the rest of the tulips in your pot. If the temperature dips below (32 °F (0 °C)), it could freeze the soil in your pot and kill your tulips for good. To avoid this, transport the tulips to a room that maintains a temperature of 45–55 °F (7–13 °C), such as the garage or basement. You can bring the tulips back outside in the late fall or early spring of the next year. in the pots every year. Dig up the tulip bulbs with a garden spade carefully, making sure not to damage the bulbs. Then, empty out your pots and replace the old potting soil with new soil. This will give bulbs nutrients, will promote growth, and increase the chances of the tulips reblooming the next growing season.  If you are removing your bulbs off-season, store them in a cool and dark place, like a refrigerator, until you're ready to plant them. Use a quality potting mix with compost and fertilize it throughout the year if you don’t want to replace the soil every year. All you have to do is top dress the soil with compost just before the growing season.

The urge to immediately shower or take a bath or otherwise clean yourself will often be very strong, but you should not do this. You are a walking evidence locker, so bag your clothes and get yourself to a hospital so that a rape kit can be taken. This will be vital in supporting your case later if you eventually decide you want to prosecute. Even if you do not want to prosecute, even if you don’t want anyone to know, even if you feel bad because you know the person, you should report your rape. Reporting is important, even if prosecution never happens, because it can serve as a red flag later if that person rapes again. It’s hard to relive a rape and the process of reporting a rape is rarely easy, but you should do it to protect both yourself and others. If you’ve been raped, even if you don’t want to report it or prosecute, you still should absolutely get a pregnancy test if you're a female and get tested for STDs and STIs no matter your gender. This is about protecting your own basic health, since some infections can be stopped in their tracks if intervention comes early. Again, even if you don’t plan on doing anything in terms of reporting or bringing charges, you should still take precautions for your own health. People who have been raped are at high risk of depression, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, and other mental health problems, especially when they don’t get support. Call a rape crisis center or find and talk to a therapist. Both will be able to help you cope with the feelings that you’re having. You’ll have to decide, if you are raped, if you want to talk to your friends and family about it. Studies have shown that support from those close to you can play a huge role in helping you reach “normalcy” again. However, rape is a deeply personal experience and you shouldn’t feel like you have to talk about it if you don’t want to. If you are raped by someone you know, which is the most likely scenario, you should do everything in your power to get away from that person. They should not still be in your life. Being constantly exposed to your rapist puts you at higher risk for self-harm, depression, and a repeated attack. If you will not bring charges against them, move away, get a restraining order, or talk to CPS if you are young.
