What is the best way to store my spring bulbs?
I had them in a nice ceramic pot that i want to use again. what do i do with the bulbs, so i can use them again next year.
Answers:
If you don't plan on putting them in the pot next fall, just wait until the foliage dries, and then dig them up and plant the bulbs in your flower bed, where they will hopefully come up next spring and likely multiple slowly. Rule of thumb is to plant bulbs at a depth of 4 times the size of the bulb.
If you want to just take the bulbs out and then replant them in the container, you can try storing them in your refrigerator crisper, in a sealed bag. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't--need to cover the bag so no light reaches the bulbs.
Another option is to place the bulbs in some potting soil inside a fairly airtight container and store it in a cool dark place, like the back of a lower kitchen or pantry cabinet. Easy to forget them, though.
Good luck!
1. take off any roots or rot to the bulb.
2. Put them in a brown paper bag
3. Store them in a dry dark place ( garage)
I have used the same bulbs for the last 4 yrs and when they flower and you get 2 then you can split the bulb.
I hope this helps
