Growing Instructions
Paperwhites are tender bulbs and needs to be planted in pots indoors throughout most of North America. To grow indoors as a house plant proceed as follows: Expand the soil block which comes with the kit, following the included directions, then fill about half the pot with the medium. Set the bulbs atop the soil, filling in with soil around the bulbs to maintain them in position. About the top third of the bulb should be left exposed above the soil level, leaving room in the pot for watering. Paperwhite bulbs like room temperatures, and exposure to sunshine will keep them shorter. As the flower stalks grows towards the light, rotate the pot frequently to prevent toppling. Sit back and enjoy!
Care Tip
They are best rooted at cooler temperatures, below 60F. Once rooted, a somewhat warmer house temperature is preferred, but not too hot or too dry an environment, as it may hinder flowering. The less light they receive, the taller they will grow.
