FAQs
How deep should I plant the bulbs?
Plant the bulbs so that the top one-third of the bulb remains visible above the surface of the potting mix.
Where is the best place to keep them?
A spot with bright, indirect light, such as an indoor windowsill, is perfect for encouraging healthy growth.
How often should I water?
Water sparingly until you see a green shoot appear. Once growth is established, maintain the soil so it is consistently, but not overly, moist.
Will these bloom again next year?
Yes, with proper care and fertilization after the flowers fade, the bulb can store enough energy to bloom again in subsequent years.
Can I plant these outside?
These are primarily designed for indoor container use and may not survive frost or extreme outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Bulb is soft or mushy
This is likely caused by overwatering. Stop watering immediately and check if the soil is well-draining; you may need to move the bulb to fresh, dry soil.
Stem is leaning or tipping over
The stem may be growing toward a single light source. Rotate the pot regularly and consider staking the stem if it grows too tall.
No growth after 10 weeks
Ensure the bulb is in a warm enough location and that it has received adequate light; ensure it has not been kept in a dark, cold environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant each bulb in a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. It is crucial to leave the top one-third of the bulb exposed above the soil surface to prevent moisture-related rot. Initially, provide very sparse water until you notice the green shoot starting to emerge. Once growth is visible, increase water frequency to maintain slightly moist soil. Keep the plants in a location with bright, indirect light to encourage healthy stem development. After the blooming season, you can continue to care for the foliage to store energy, allowing the bulb to potentially bloom again in future winters.
