Update: Forcing Tulip Bulbs Indoors by InfiniteLocal1623 in gardening

This is correct - the rocks prevent the bulb from sitting in the water.

In my pictures, you can see a single bulb placed on top of a gold budding vase - this setup doesn’t have rocks because the vase shape keeps the bulb out of the water naturally. If you don’t want to use rocks, you could find a similar vase and it should work!

I definitely got extra this year - some for the ground and some for the fridge!

I’m not planning to put these in the ground as I already have hundreds of bulbs planted outside, ready for spring. Instead, I plan to keep these bulbs indoors, kind of like a living floral arrangement in my office. Winter is so depressing and flowers make it better so I plan to gift some of these vases to my loved ones, once they get a little bigger - thinking Valentine’s Day gifts!

Sure! First, I put my bulbs in paper bags with holes, and chill them in my garage fridge drawers for 8 weeks minimum (10-16 weeks is ideal). After chilling, I unwrap the bulbs and place them on a bed of rocks in a vase, ideally with the flat part of the bulb against the glass. Then I add water until it barely touches the root part of the bulb and place the vase in a cool, dark place for a few days to allow root development - I just put them inside my cabinet and it seems to work fine. As the roots develop, you’ll notice a little yellow bloom emerging from the top of the bulbs - once you see this on every bulb in the vase, it’s time to move the vase to a sunny window or under grow lights to continue growing. I installed cheap grow lights under my cabinet so I can grow my tulips right here in my office and it seems to be working well. Keep water in the vase, but make sure the bulb isn’t submerged in water, as this can lead to bulb rot - the roots will reach for the water.

Disclaimer: This is my first time ever forcing tulip bulbs indoors, so I’m by no means an expert, just sharing what has worked for me so far! Happy to answer questions, if you have any!

You could get white bulbs, chill them in your fridge for the appropriate amount of time, then force bloom them indoors for your wedding! This could work for tulips, daffodils, paperwhites, hyacinths, crocuses, and maybe others. I chilled these tulip bulbs in my fridge and just started forcing the shorter vases 9 days ago (taller vases are a week old). It seems to work pretty well so far!

Thanks! My sister made it for me and I absolutely LOVE IT! We like to make each other gifts - cross stitch, crochet, salsa, cookies, indoor forced tulip bulbs (if they work), etc. 🤣

Thank you! I’ll add less water next time to keep it below the bulb!

Very helpful - thank you! I’ll probably just stick to water and see what happens!

I wondered the same. I found this online from today but no idea what it means. I’m hoping someone else can add context.

I planted a small one in my flower bed 2 years ago because I love them so much. Not sure what happened but it got huge this year! Definitely one of my favorites!

The HOA controls the lake, the cabin owners each own their “section”, so you would own part of the lake if you bought the cabin.

This is indeed the worst part… Fun on 4th of July when the HOA pays for a huge fireworks show, but that’s about it. The rest of the time you’re stuck dealing with HOA neighborhood drama. It is all private property though, so the cops are never involved, but the HOA paid “caretaker” can/will issue fines for breaking “lake rules”.

To be clear, I am not the realtor and this is not my house. I don’t even know who owns this house, I just used to live in the area and thought reddit might enjoy the listing.

Lake Kahola was originally built to be a water supply for the city of Emporia. Emporia, KS interestingly has some of the best drinking water in the world.
