Just a quick recap on bulb care, in October, I removed all bulbs from their pots and placed them in a box with wood chips. I left them in a dark corner of the basement where it stays around 70 degrees. I'd prefer cooler but that's about as cool as I can seem to get it. The bulbs are supposed to hibernate for 6 weeks, it's easier for me to just re-plant them in January after the busy holiday season.
My husband set up this pink grow light which we bought from Lowes. We bought the metal stand from Aldi for $40.00 this week. The photos are a little weird because of the lighting.
I start out with a little water on day one, slightly more on day 2, try really hard to not get water on the bulb as it's fragile. Each day I water a little more until the dirt seems more consistently damp.
I need to move the shelves, because they are right across from our heating/air conditioner unit which husband says sucks air from that general area so it might cause the plants to dry out too fast. For now, I'm just happy to have replanted all 8-10 bulbs!
