CREATING NATURE IN YOUR HOME FORCING SPRING FLOWER BULBS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS BELLOW

'FORCING BULBS'

simple means that we are encouraging bulbs to flower earlier than they would on their own. So you can enjoy their beautifull flowers even during the winter season

chilling times

Forcing bulbs indoors for late winter to early spring bloom couldn’t be easier and it gets us in the mood for spring. Most bulbs  require a chilling period PAPERWHITES AND AMYRALLIS don't need it and can be planted straight away. Once you plant these bulbs in soil or in water, expect them to flower within about four to eight weeks.

caring for forced bulbs

Caring for forced bulbs is easy. Place the containers in bright indirect light, like in a windowsill, by a bright window, or on a tabletop that receives sufficient light. Keep the soil damp but not wet, and when the flowers have totally faded, place them (bulb and all) into the compost pile. Most forced bulbs have used up their supply of energy and will not likely bloom again – it’s possible that if you plant them outside in the ground, they may eventually rebloom, but that could take several years.
