How do I plant Tulips, Daffodils or Crocus inside?

The gardening term when planting inside is called "forcing." However, not all varieties are suitable for indoor forcing. For best results, look on the packaging of the bulb or contact the manufacturer on which bulbs are most suitable for indoor forcing.

How to Plant Tulips, Daffodils or Crocus Indoors

1. Select a shallow 6" ceramic pot, and fill the bottom with an inch of gravel. It may be necessary to place a shard of broken pottery or large rock over the hole in the bottom of the pot.
2. Fill the pot with moist potting soil.
3. Place your bulbs in the soil mix, leaving just the tips exposed. A good rule of thumb is 15 crocuses, 6 tulips, 6 daffodils, or 3 hyacinths per six inch pot. 
4. After you've finished planting the bulbs, place the pot in a cool place. A refrigerator works great for this. 
5. After the bulbs have been cooled for about six weeks, remove the pot. 
6. Place the pot in a sunny, warm location and keep the soil moist but not wet. In a few weeks the bulbs should start growing.
