▶ Planting flower bulbs in pots outdoors
As a thumb rule, flower bulbs are planted at about twice or thrice their depth. The primary and the most important prerequisite for growing bulbs is to have perfect drainage.
It will be a good idea to add coarse sand and leaf mold in the soil to improve the drainage. You can also add well-rotted cow manure and bone meal to the soil.
The newly planted bulbs should not come in contact with fresh manure.
▶ Growing bulbs in pots and containers:
Growing bulbs in pots and containers have its own charm as they can be used for indoor or outdoor decorations. The bulb is planted in a good quality, porous potting soil with the crown of the bulb just above the soil.
Initially, keeping the pots in the dark encourages better root growth. Bulbs can be grown in soilless potting mixtures like gardenia Pot-o-mix.
The size of the pot varies according to the type of bulb. Usually, 10 to 12-inch pots are good enough. After the bulbs start growing, the pot can be gradually exposed to the sun, but should never be exposed all of a sudden to too much light.
After flowering is over, the flower bulbs are taken out and planted in the ground as these will not flower again in pots due to depletion of stored food. Every year new bulbs are needed for pot culture.
▶ Lifting and storing bulbs:
Bulbs have three phases in life history, namely - The resting phase, the growing period and the flowering season.
The lifting of bulbs is done from the soil when the flowering season is over. During the resting period, bulbs are stored in dry sand and aerated conditions. Bulbs are ready for planting again during the growing season (e.g., monsoon).
Some hardy flower bulbs do very well even when left on their own in the ground for 3-4 years.
