Water Tulips


 Growing Tulips in water inside your home can provide you with beautiful gifts for loved ones and beauty in you home.
All you have to do is add some water in your class container (about 1/3 full) and place glass marbles or rocks of your choice to the bottom of the container. This will allow you to actually watch the roots sprout and you can watch your baby grow.
Emerge tulip bulb (pointy side up) in the container and if needed place whatever you chose to use at the bottom of your glass container around the bulb to help it stay positioned.

Make sure that the bulb is barely touching the water, this will prevent the bulb from rotting!!!!!!!
Place the container with your bulb in a dark and cool place (40-50 degrees F) check the bulb occasionally and add water as needed!
After approximately 12 weeks you can move your bulb to a sunny location, if you are patient enough and allow your bulb to sit in a dark location for 16 weeks your blooms will be even larger.  I have a hard time waiting :)

Your Tulips will bloom within a month.
