Servings: 10 Flowers
Cost: $5
Equipment
- Watering Can (optional)
Ingredients
- 10 Small Terra Cotta Pots for the bulbs (with drainage holes, clay pots work well but can be plastic)
- 1 bag Potting Soil Mix
- 10 Chilled Tulips bulbs, Hyacinths bulbs, Grape Hyacinths bulbs, Daffodils bulbs, Crocus bulbs (your choice)
- OR Paperwhite bulbs, Amaryllis bulbs
Instructions
- Place a few small stones in the bottom of the pot to keep the soil from escaping out the drain hole (or a small piece of screen works well too). Then add a little Potting Soil Mix in the pots.
- The flower bulbs are placed with the pointed side up. Finish placing soil around the bulb, just to the top. Press the soil gently to get rid of air pockets.
- Sit your pots in a shallow baking dish so that they won't leak water when watered.
- Take care to let the soil dry between waterings so the bulbs don't sit in water and rot. Not good!!
- Place the bulbs in a location that is cooler and away from direct light for the first couple weeks, then place them in sunlight.
- "Coax" the bulbs for 6-8 weeks and enjoy the beautiful blooms!
