The Ultimate Guide to Forcing Spring Flower Bulbs

For plants that don't require a chilling time and are grown in water, the process is a bit different. Place bulbs in a tall, glass container, nestled in pebbles. Fill bottom of container with water, making sure it comes into contact with bottom of bulbs. Although these bulbs do not need chilling, they will do best in a cooler temperature — about 50°F. Once shoots begin to appear and the tallest one is a couple of inches long, move plant to a warm and bright area.
