How Do You Grow Tulip Bulbs In Water?
Tulips are enjoyed in gardens during springtime, and are a pleasant reminder that warmer weather has finally arrived. Tulips also make a nice houseplant to be enjoyed during that same time of year. However, there is a way to have tulips adorn your home off-season. This is done by growing tulips in water and forcing the roots to begin rooting. Then, the tulip will continue to grow and bloom to add springtime like flowers any time of the year. Place your bulb into a “forcing” vase, “hyacinth glass” or a vase or jar that is tapered so that the neck is eventually a bit smaller in diameter than the bulb itself. Slightly force the bulb into the neck of the vase until it stuck. Do not force it any further as that could break the vase. This should happen closer to the top of the vase than the bottom. Fill the vase with water. The bulb is oddly shaped and water will reach the bottom, albeit slowly. When finished, the bulb should not sit in the water; there should be about 1/8 of an inch separat
