Creative Tulips

Learn how to grow tulip bulbs in the water!

When growing bulbs in water, first choose a container to use for forcing. You can buy specific vases called forcing vases to grow your flower bulb indoors. These are vases that have short, narrow necks and wide mouths. They allow the flower bulb to sit with only its roots in the water.

You do not need a forcing vase to force a bulb to bloom in the water. You can also use a pan or bowl filled with pebbles. Bury the bulbs halfway into the pebbles, with the points facing up. Fill the pan or bowl with water so that the lower quarter of the flower bulb is in the water. Make sure that the pan or bowl always has water.
