Forced Spring Bulbs
Many of us will have bought or been given forced bulbs to bring cheer to the house over the winter months. After giving us pleasure with their displays it is only fair to give them something back in return for their efforts. Most spring bulbs can be popped outside after flowering to build up their strength and develop flowers for next year, treating them as you would bulbs planted direct in the garden. Once the flowers have faded it is good to feed the bulbs with a liquid feed to provide them with plenty of nutrients to build up their strength and develop good flowers for next year. If you do decide to put them outside in the container they came in, make sure that the container has adequate drainage as some of these bulbs are supplied in sealed pots which will fill with water during rain causing the bulbs to rot. Once the bulbs have died back they will revert back to their natural flowering period if left outside and provide you with endless seasons of colour.
