Do you water spring bulbs in pots over winter?Updated 20 days ago

Bulbs like to be in a growing medium which is kept moist, but well-drained. If pots are under cover, or if there is very little rain through the winter and early spring, then they will need watering. You can check to see if they need watering by gently tipping the pot—if it feels light, they are dry and need some water. Likewise, if the soil feels dry 5-10cm below the surface. Take care not to over-water however—the bottom of the pot should have adequate drainage holes and while the bulbs are still dormant, they can be allowed to dry out before watering again.
