For the forcing of bulbous cultures, be sure to take the earliest varieties, the timing of flowering can be found on the packaging with bulbs. Why early? Yes, because they are already adapted to germinate and grow in the most unfavorable conditions for this — a short bottom, a cool, often lack of moisture.

Choose the most well-developed bulbs, they should be massive, large. Next, select the appropriate container for them. The ideal option is to make it twice as high and three times as large as the bulb diameter. Be sure to provide a hole at the bottom of the container so that excess moisture passes through it, rather than accumulating in the base, and place a small layer (about a centimeter) of the smallest expanded clay for drainage.

After that, the container with the planted plant should be put on the glazed balcony, but there you should try to maintain the temperature around 10 degrees, preferably not higher.

All this time, it is imperative to monitor the maintenance of soil moisture at an optimal level, not allowing it to dry out too much, but also not over-wetting the soil, too. Watch for the appearance of sprouts: as soon as they appear, the container with the plant should be placed in a room on a southern sill or just in a well-lit place.
