Van Belle On Gardening Indoor Beauty with Dutch Bulbs What nicer way to spend the winter, than to enjoy the fall bulbs in the home. By careful planning you can have color especially during those drab days of January and February. Of all the flower bulbs, the Hyacinth, Paperwhite, Narcissus Narcissus and Amaryllis are probably probably the easiest to bring into flower in an indoor garden. Of course Tulips, Daffodils, Crocus and many of the smaller smaller bulbs such as Crocus can also be forced for indoor use. Bringing flower bulbs into bloom is commonly called Indoor Forcing, and according to the Dutch bulb guide this terminology is a misnomer, a better term would be Gentle Persuasion; by persuading the bulb that winter is over and it should be ready to start blooming. This can be accomplished accomplished by placing the bulbs in a cool indoor storage place such as fruit cellar or garage. The temperature should be between 40 degrees and 50 degrees. Bulbs for forcing can be placed in any container as long as there is sufficient drainage so that the bulb will not be sitting in a moist soil for any length of time. Clay pots make ideal containers for bulbs since they are porous and will drain well, and if you are using new clay pots submerge submerge them in a pail of water so that the clay has absorbed enough moisture that it will not take the moisture from the soil mix. Light soil is the key to success, it will drain well. The soil can be composed of equal parts of potting soil, peatmoss and sand. Don't worry about fertilizer, since the bulb contains all its own food, Planting of the bulbs is easy. First put a piece of broken clay pot or stones on the bottom of the container, then fill the container half full of the planting mix, and set the bulbs into this mix, press the bulb firmly into the soil mix, so that the tip of the bulb is just below the rim of the pot, then add the remainder of the soil, until the bulbs are completely completely covered except that the tips of the bulbs are still visible. It may be nice to know what color and variety is in each pot, so label them with name, color, and date of planting. planting. Water them in well so that all the soil is moist, or set them in a dish of water and let them soak up enough moisture until the soil is wet. The potted bulbs now need a period of cold storage of at least 12 weeks to develop roots, stem and bud. This should be done at a temperature temperature of 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pots in a cool cellar or an old refrigerator refrigerator or garage or outdoor shed, where they will not freeze. The bulbs must be kept completely in the dark and watered regularly. regularly. After a minimum of 12 weeks the bulbs will have adequate root and sprout growth. The roots will be visible through the drainage hole on the bottom of the pot and the sprouts on the top of the bulb will be two to three inches high. At this stage the bulbs can be moved in a warmer environment of about 60 degrees and keep them semidark for about four to five days, which will allow them to become used to the new conditions conditions and also will make the sprouts turn the proper green color. Now the pots can be placed to show off their beauty wherever you desire. Water them regularly and keep them away from drafts or heaters. Until next week, happy gardening. Patrick G.
