Growing Paperwhites Indoors

( Narcissus papyraceus )

  • Set your container or vase in a cool place away from direct sunlight (50-60°F is ideal)

  • water until the level reaches just below the base of the bulbs, but no higher (if the bases of the bulbs sit in water, they will rot)

  • When you see roots growing, move the container to a sunny window. Keep a close eye on watering

  • Paperwhites will start to bloom 4-6 weeks after you begin watering it

  • If you don't want to start your Paperwhites right away store them at room temperature in a dark place
