Do you water potted bulbs?Updated 8 months ago

Potted bulbs need to be in a growing medium which is kept moist, but well-drained. Ideally pots should have adequate drainage holes so that water and flow through and not accumulate. If growing bulbs under cover or indoors, take care to water sparingly and only when the soil starts to feel dry.

Spring bulbs growing in pots outdoors don't typically need watering during autumn and winter, but they will need watering in spring once they start to grow if the soil dries out. 

Summer bulbs potted in spring should be watered infrequently while they're dormant. It is ok to allow the soil to become almost completely dry before watering again. Once they start to grow, they will require regular watering - the soil should be watered whenever it starts to feel quite dry.
