As they grow, they will sometimes push the bulbs upward. When the green shoots appear, move your project to a cool, sunny spot. The shoots will develop rapidly and in about three more weeks, you'll have masses of heavily-scented sweet white flowers. Paperwhites are also perfect take-home projects for group activities such as scout troops, clubs, birthday parties and other get togethers. Simply add some gravel, one bulb and some water to a disposable plastic cup.
Amaryllis bulbs are very large but also very easy to grow.
These big bulbs are normally planted one to a pot and are also often available as complete pre- packaged kits. Begun early enough, amaryllises can be easily brought to flower for the holiday season. By staggering your start-up times, it's possible to have amaryllises blooming in the house from December through April. The pot circumference should be not much bigger than the bulb itself. Fill in with soil and gently pat down, leaving the neck of the bulb exposed.
