  • Distinctive Leaves: The leaves of Liriodendron tulipifera are large, four-lobed, and tulip-shaped, which gives the tree its common name. The leaves turn a vibrant yellow in the fall, creating a stunning display of autumn color.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
