Arma For Potforcing

Forcing Tulips for Easter: after planting, keep bulbs at 48 F until the roots grow out of the bottom of the container. When the roots show, drop the temperature to 41 F. Maintain this temperature until January - depending on sprout development - the temperature needs to be lowered to 34 F and held until brought into the greenhouse. The main rule for almost all tulips is 14-16 weeks of cool temperature at or below 48 F. Planting medium can be any commercial soil or soil mix as long it has good drainage. Greenhouse forcing 4 weeks at 58-68 F.
