- Forcing Pre-chilled Spring Flower Bulbs Inside - In this video I go over how to plant pre-chilled (cold-treated) spring flower bulbs to use them inside. It is pretty simple to do as long as the bulbs have been cold treated the appropriate length of time. They can also be placed outside in the sun on days that the pots will not freeze solid.

Thanks for info. I forgot to plant some tulip bulbs outside and thought I would force. Your info saved me time as now I know I don't have enough cold time. So I will hope they flower outside in the pot they are in.
Hello Jim:
Where can we buy top grade large spring flowering bulbs to pre chill or companies that sale prechilled bulbs?
I did not know if there where spring bulb produces that had the grade and quality: large bulbs?
I am thinking about raising spring bulb flowers as a crop on our small farm, I know of most of the suppliers for the home gardener but I am interested In finding a supplier of florist grad bulbs that bloom.
Regards
Hope
Hi Jim,
I'm in zone 9 and some tulips I bought at a big box store and planted in late December have already bloomed. I plan to dig them up and bring them indoors. Is this something that can be done after they have already bloomed. It will be an experiment to see if they survive.
I planted almost 200 bulbs outside. This is the first time I planted tulips and it has been -20 outside of course. I am hoping I got some hardy ones.
I am conducting an experiment this year. I'm z5b. I planted a bunch of tulip bulbs in pots and then sunk the pots into my raised bed where I grow tomatoes in the summer. I covered them with leaves and put wire baskets over the top of them to keep the squirrels from stealing them. My hope is they will emerge in the spring and then I can move the entire pot from the raised bed into decorative planters in the front yard. But we have quite some time before Spring here. P.S. I love amaryllis. They make the dead of winter more bearable.
Wow. Good luck with them. Sounds like it should work out great.
@@JimPutnam We shall see Jim. I planted over a hundred bulbs like this. It's the job of the gardener to experiment. :-)
Yes it is. I have killed more plants than all the people watching my videos in order to gain this knowledge😁
I’m zone 4 and did the same- planted close to 200 tulips in every pot I could find, took them out to a friend in the country as I didn’t have enough room to store them. He covered them all with tarps, straw, leaves, branches and brought them back to me in the spring - what a gorgeous display - and what a good friend!
@@janeti6149 Indeed that is one good friend. The experiment was successful. The hardest part was trying to figure out what to do with them all once they were done blooming. I spent a lot of time trying to plant them out in the yard after that!
Thanks for the information!!!
Thanks for watching
I want to order pre-chilled bulbs for containers. I'm in zone 6. If I order them now, when should I plant them in pots to get early spring blooms?
Did you see the orbs around 9:15 on the left side of the screen?
I m curious know since you have posted this video on 1st of Feb so is it possible to still sow in February? Plssssssssssssssssssssss answer!!!!!!!!!
Hi🤗, so the bulbs you are handling have been pre-chilled in your refrigerator for about 14 weeks, then you put the ones your handling after? Thanks⚘
Great information!!! We have tons of tulips and kept them in our garage. We bought them from big box stores. We planted some last year but never cold treated them 😬 they did come up. But now I’m wondering if these tulips should be cold treated? Second time around new to this. So should we cold treat them or just go and plant them, with how late we are in planting them? 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Last year was much colder for sure. We get the occasional winter where they work great. Thanks for watching
Hello. How many weeks will it take for a pre-chilled tulip bulb to bloom?
How long after blooming bulbs can you chill and re-use them?
3:20 lol
Do you have to put them in the Refrigerator if you plan to put them in pots for outside? I live in Sacramento, CA. Our winter gets down to 40*-50* at night Thank you 😊
Yes
If I plant gladiolus bulb on the ground do I have to take them out in winter?I’m in zone 7 too ..
In zone 7 gladiolus just need to be mulched going into winter. Zone 6 you would have to dig them up.
😍😍🌱🌱👍👍
This is one of the most informative videos! Thanks, Jim. Mid October...going to chill daffodil bubs in frig. until mid January. Then I'll start forcing them in intervals. Will do two weeks in garage as suggested. Do paper whites every year for Christmas.
After they finish blooming will you plant them outside or toss out?
I compost the tulips and plant any others. Thanks for asking
Is it too late to rotate , muscari leaves flapped over one side?
I would definitely spin them around.
@@JimPutnam Thank you.
