Paperwhites

They're going to grow anyway. They have been in this bag on my porch for a while.

I'll start these on another day in soil. I also received 3 more in the mail last week.


Placed on top of pebbles and water added only touching the basal plate/bottom of bulb where new roots will emerge. I usually put a small amount of rubbing alcohol in the water. It keeps the foliage from growing too tall. Some use vodka. I don't drink so don't have this in the house. Now to wait for roots to start growing and the beautiful blooms in about 6 weeks. Seven left but have to find a container for them. I'll wait so I can have some in bloom later.



If only I could start on other bulbs that need to be planted in containers and some in the ground, This was a start. I think I'll do some amaryllis and hyacinths next.
