How to Grow Tulips in a Vase Indoors
- Choose a glass vase and add enough clear marbles or pebbles to fill about a third of the vase.
- Add the tulip bulb (pointed end up) on top of the marbles. Cover the bulb with a few more marbles or pebbles to help give the growing root support.
- Add fresh water into the vase. The water shouldn’t touch the bulb, but it should be very close, so that the roots will grow in
- Watch your beautiful tulips grow.
oh thank you :) i have some queen of the night i would love to see but New England is not the best place for tulips haha
ReplyDeleteHow long did you chill these before planted in vase?
ReplyDeletewhere did it say to chill the bulb?
DeleteYou did not say...but here in the south we place them in the ref for several months before planting them outside.
DeleteI agree... in SC we would chill them for a few weeks (3-5) to force the bloom into thinking it had been through a hibernation period.
DeleteSame here in FL... we have to leave the bulbs in the fridge at least 6-8 weeks
DeleteIn Wisconsin we just carry them in from the car😂 Those few minutes are usually enough chillin'
DeleteThat is so neat! I may do that and set them all across the living room window sill. That would look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWill these bloom more then one time or just once a year?
ReplyDelete1 time

DeleteWhat do I do when the flowers die? Is there a way to cut it back and regrow the bulbs?
ReplyDelete1 flowering season. Will regrow after another season.
DeleteThe green growth feeds the bulb, so to speak, through the hibernation period of winter.You could try force blooming it by putting the bulb in the refrigerator for 3-5 weeks, however, if it did work without the nutrients needed to strengthen for the coming year I doubt the bloom would be as healthy and robust. Maybe try rotating bulbs in and out of the refrigerator for nicer, long-term blooms.
DeleteWonderful idea! Can you gives us an idea as to about how long it takes to bloom?
ReplyDeleteCan gladiolas be done the same way ?
ReplyDeleteMost any bulb can be grown this way
DeleteI don't see any marbles in these vases..once roots sprout you removed marbles or what??
ReplyDeleteThat's my question too...
DeleteThe marbles are actually flat and clear so the roots have probably covered them up and you just can't see them in the photo.
DeleteHow do you keep them till next year?
ReplyDeleteI thought they had to freeze before you could do anything. They freeze in MT and come up starting February. Blooming just in the last couple weeks outside.

ReplyDeleteI love this idea! What a great way to bring spring inside when it's not quite ready to be spring outside yet. :)
ReplyDeleteI featured this idea in my blog post today, "10 Fun, Fresh DIY Ideas for Spring" - check it out if you'd like, and thanks for the idea! http://www.goinchicboutique.com/blog/10-fun-fresh-diy-spring-ideas
Do you have to keep changing the water so it doesn't get nasty?
ReplyDeleteGood question!!! I would like to know that too.
DeleteThe water evaporates, and you just have to add more to it every once in a while.
DeleteGreat idea ... thanks. Last Saturday I so enjoyed finally planting my tulip bulbs just outside my kitchen window. I woke up Sunday morning to find my little neighborhood grey squirrel digging them all up! He's a nice little guy, but not that nice!!! : )
ReplyDeleteFor outdoor bulbs planting with bone or blood meal keeps deer away, but squirrels like meat, so I'd love an answer too. My 🐕 dug up every bulb I'd planted in bone meal one year.
DeleteAlthough the image of tulips growing in slender glass cylinders doesn't reflect the accompaning directions, don't be discouraged. There are ample examples of the beautiful results to be had.
ReplyDeleteHow long will it take until there will be a full bloom. I would like to do this with my students' for mother's day...when should I start?
ReplyDeleteThe instructions say to "add enough clear marbles or pebbles to fill about a third of the vase." But in the photo, it isn't even a quarter of the vase. Was that just for a more dramatic photo, or will they do all right with so few marbles or pebbles? Do they need to be in direct sunlight?Also, what's the time frame: How long before they bloom? How long do they last? More details, please!
ReplyDeleteHow often do you change the water? Distilled water preferred when planted indoors like orchids?
ReplyDeleteWe wanted some tulips for our wedding in Aug, wondering how long will take and maybe wil start trying it out awhile!

Hello, somebody already tried this idea? Did it work? I live in Texas, do I need to put the bulbs in the fridge first?
ReplyDeleteAlso, be sure that wherever you decide to place the plants, they will not be bothered by young children or animals. Mars Hydro reviews
ReplyDeletewhat should be the size of the vase?
ReplyDeleteI live in Ontario Canada do I have to refrigerate before starting the process if so for how long do they take to bloom was hoping for my Easter Tabke
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, gonna try it.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the article I am confused. I am from PA where we just put the bulbs in the ground. I currently live in NC and I do not understand "chilling " the bulbs first. Does anyone know about this? I would love to do several of these for my office windowsill. It is a inexpensive way to add color
ReplyDeleteDo they need direct sun?
ReplyDeleteHow long until they grow?
ReplyDeletetulip bulbs need a chilling period of at least 6-8 weeks, in PA we plant them in the fall and the winter chills them, if not planting outside, put in the refrig around Nov-Dec
ReplyDeleteno response from writer about chilling but I've always heard it was necessary for forcing. lot of disappointed people if they follow the directions without chilling.
ReplyDeleteThe fridge tricks the bulbs into thinking they have been dormant for winter and are now ready to bloom for spring. I really want to try this. I planted Parrot Tulips outside here in Ca and they did bloom but died away quickly with the heat.
ReplyDeleteTo Unknown ^^^ Hahaha
ReplyDeleteMichigan is also like Wisconsin.....in that we just take them out of the car....
I couldn't find tulip bulbs here in FL, decided on Calli bulbs...gonna put them in the fridge 1st...wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteYes Bulbs should be chilled just above freezing for a few weeks ( fridge is good) in the dark, till tip starts growing a tiny bit, about 1/2 inch.Then put in a south or west facing window. This post does not mention this.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the best time to put the bulbs in water? I have a tulip plant so want to save the bulbs. Do I need to dry them out and store them until next year, as I presume they won't grow and flower again this year if I put them in water?
