Planting• Choose a 6–8” diameter pot with drainage holes, plus a waterproof saucer or decorative outer pot.
• Plant the bulb with the roots facing down in pre-moistened potting mix, leaving the shoulders of the bulb exposed above the soil.
Care• Place the pot in bright light at room temperature (65–75˚ F).
• Water as needed to keep the soil moist but not wet. Avoid getting water in the bulb’s neck. Empty any water that has drained into the saucer or outer pot.
• Rotate the pot every few days to keep the plant growing straight.
• When the buds start to open, move the plant to a cool spot (55–65˚ F) out of direct sunlight to prolong blooming.
