Follow our step-by-step guide to plant indoor bulbs: ​
-
Plant the bulbs in your chosen planter (follow the instructions on the pack)​
-
Once planted, the bulbs will need a period of cool and dark (to simulate winter). This is usually around 8 weeks but check the pack for details​
-
Place in a cool (7-9°C), dark, dry and airy position. Keep the compost moist​
-
When shoots appear (after approx. 8 weeks) place the planter in a light, warm position (18-20°C) ​
-
Once in flower, move to a cool, bright position to prolong the flowering period. Turn occasionally as the flowers will grow towards the light​
-
After flowering, bulbs can be planted in the garden (with the exception of Paperwhites as these are not frost hardy)
