Then bring into the light and warmer temperatures. Your bulbs will flower in three to six weeks. To start the flowering process, place the bulb in a well-lighted area and give it a good initial watering. Subsequent waterings should be light until the plant starts to grow. The flower stalk should emerge before the leaves.
Large bulbs can produce as many as three flower stalks.
Pot bulbs in a good soil mix. A light, well-aerated mix containing equal parts sterilized potting soil, sphagnum peat moss, and vermiculite is ideal. Place bulbs close together, but not touching. Soil should cover all but the very tips of the bulbs. Water well after planting, and place in a dark area at 40 degrees F. for at least three months.
