Depending on where you live, you'll have to pot your bulbs at a different time. You want your potted bulbs to begin to bloom around the same time as bulbs planted outdoors, usually in early spring. Planting your bulbs 6 weeks before their blooming time gives them enough time to grow. You may need to alter your schedule based on your growing region, as cold weather could damage or kill the plant. If the temperature drops, you may need to bring your plant back inside to protect it from the cold. Pour the potting mix directly from the bag into the pot. Fill the pot with at least 2in (5.1cm) of soil. If you're planting bulbs that require a shallower planting depth, fill the pot with about 4in (10cm). Tulips and daffodils should be planted in deeper soil. Bearded irises should be planted in shallow soil. Place your bulbs in the soil and give them a quarter turn so they take hold in the soil. Plant them about 0.5in (1.3cm) apart in the soil. Then pour more potting soil around the bulbs, allowing just the tip of the bulb to show through. Plants like tulips and daffodils should be planted at least 6in (15cm) deep. Smaller plants, like crocus, should be planted about 4in (10cm) deep. If you like, you can plant just 1 bulb in the pot. Make sure you plant your bulbs at least 0.5in (1.3cm) from the edge of the pot. If you want to plant more than 1 type of bulb in 1 pot, plant them in layers by height. The bulbs that need to be planted deepest should go in first. Plant that bulb as you normally would, cover it over with soil, and then plant the shallower bulbs next. Make sure you stagger the bulbs in the second layer so they aren't growing directly on top of the deepest bulbs. Once you've covered your bulbs with soil, use a watering can or garden hose to water the soil. Keep watering until water runs out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. You can use room temperature or cool water, either from a hose or your tap.

Article: When you bring your guinea pig home after surgery, let it recover in a calm, quiet area. Place your guinea pig's cage in an area that does not get a lot of foot traffic from you or other members of your household. If you have other guinea pigs, keep them in a separate cage from the sick guinea pig. If the surgically-removed lump was an abscess or infected cyst, your guinea pig will need antibiotics to prevent post-surgical infection. Because certain antibiotics can make guinea pigs extremely sick, your vet will prescribe a guinea pig-safe antibiotic. Do not purchase antibiotics at a pet store; they may not be safe for your guinea pig. Guinea pigs typically need at least one round of antibiotics following surgical removal of an abscess. Your vet will determine how long your guinea pig will need antibiotic treatment. To give the antibiotic pill, hold your guinea pig, open its mouth, and put the pill as far back in the mouth as you can. If you can place the pill near the molars, your guinea pig will not be able to spit it back out easily. Give the full course of antibiotics. Do not stop the antibiotic treatment when your guinea pig starts looking and feeling better. This could lead to the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. After surgery, keep the incision site clean and free of dirt and debris. To clean the incision site, use a clean, slightly damp towel and gently dab around the incision. That area may be a little painful for your guinea pig, so you do not want to use too much pressure. Examine the incision site for signs of infection: redness, swelling, discharge. If the incision site looks abnormal, take your guinea pig to your vet for treatment. Your vet may want to see your guinea pig again after surgery to monitor its recovery. During this follow-up appointment, your vet will examine the incision area, remove sutures (if necessary), and generally assess how your guinea pig is doing.
