    How to Plant Bulbs in Pots

  • 1

    Keep bulbs planted in small containers in a cold, protected space.If you don't have a large enough pot to leave your bulbs outside during the winter, you can stash them in an enclosed space.

    A shed or garage that will stay cold but provide protection from snow and extreme cold are perfect.[8]

    • You can leave larger, well-insulated pots outside.

      • The cold air actually helps the bulbs bloom later in the spring. As long as your bulbs are well-insulated, the outside air temperature won't matter much.

    Check the moisture of the soil regularly. Every few days, stick your finger into the potting soil around the bulbs.

    If the soil feels dry down to 1 in (2.5 cm), water the soil until water runs out of the drainage holes.[9]

    Move the pot outside after you see new growth. After about 6 to 8 weeks in a chilly environment, you should see some green growth from your bulbs.

    If you're keeping your pot inside a garage or shed, you can move it outside once you see this growth.[10]
