Paperwhites Time to plant

 

Time to Start!!

I purchased my bulbs from a local nursery.

The price was kind of scary, but they were having a sale,

buy one get the other for a cent......

My lucky day!!

I had saved three of my bulbs from last year but wasn't too sure if they survived.

So this is what I used and this is what you will need.

But before I begin I also kept my Amaryllis  bulb.

So lets plant it first.

I use only the best potting soil.

This is the original container that my Amaryllis came in, so lets use it again.

I have some pebbles of glass that goes into the bottom of my planter,

Next comes the soil.

Plant your Amaryllis bulb just into the soil so some of the bulb is above.

Then I add moss for decoration.

Water and keep in a well light area and watch it grow.

Should flower in 6 weeks.

I keep this one on my shelf in my Sudio.

Now to plant the paper white bulbs.

I used two antique pudding bowls.

I added my pebbles to the bottom and then added the soil.

Place the pointy side up and the roots down so that their is half of the bulb showing.

I placed three bulbs to a bowl.

Added the moss and watered.

I keep them on my kitchen window sill.

Now watch them grow.  Don't forget to water weekly.

The three bulbs I had from last season went into the same container and they are also

on my kitchen window sill.

There are so many containers out there.

Have some fun.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving those lovely comments.

I read everyone.
