Containers of Bulbs Add Instant Spring
Success with Potted Bulbs
- Select plants that have sprouted but are still in tight bud. Tall plants can be difficult to transplant successfully.
- Slowly acclimate pots of sprouted bulbs that have been kept indoors at the garden center. Set the pots in a protected but
unheated area outdoors for a few days before transplanting them. - Choose a pot with good drainage for transplanting, and use a good-quality potting soil.
- To transplant, carefully tip the bulb and soil out of the pot and replant it in your own container. Plant bulbs closely, so they nearly touch each other, for a lush bouquet effect when they bloom.
- If you purchased a grouping of bulbs that are in one pot, keep the group together. It's best to not separate tender
new roots when repotting. - Water newly planted bulbs well, and move the container to a sunny spot.
