If I purchased these bulbs now (early December) and planted them in pots, would they come up right away? Could I put the pots both indoors and out?

They came, but already sprouted. I have not put them in yet. At this time of the year pots may be the best way to go. Good luck.

I live in Massachusetts where winter is pretty cold. I planted the bulbs 3 weeks ago in a pot indoors, and I have lovely 4 inch green seedlings. Will need a few more weeks to see them flower. Too cold for outdoors around here.

It was about the same time of the year when I planted mine. As I remember it took more or less a week for them to sprout. Almost all of the seed did sprout eventually. Make sure they aren't growing inwardly, towards the ground. I tried to have mine indoors, in southern California, but my gardening skills aren't that great and they ended up dying before I could harvest them. Maybe I'll try again this year. I've seen people planting the seeds indoors and them moving them outside after it sprouts successfully. Hope it helps.

I bought them & planted them in a pot in mid October. They came up in about 1.5 - 2 weeks with the grass like leaves. They still have not bloomed yet & I guess probably will not this year. When winter really sets in, I'll put the pot in my unheated garage & see what next year brings.Dave B

You can give them a try. These plants like warm weather. I grow mine in big pots with a tomato cage in the center. They grow very nice in the pots and vine up the cage w/assistance and direction. If you have the room and can bring them inside as the temperature gets cooler in the fall you will get a longer life from them. If you do not have the ability to do this then you will not get too many flowers or beans from the plant.

Yes, you can keep them in the pots they come in--- for a time. I think I ordered them about a month before I needed them and they were fine. Stay inside with bright light.Of course the pots are small, so at some point they'll need to be transplanted into something larger. I used them as 'gifts' for an event I was hosting.I've also seen them planted into pot saucers, so you can put several together.

I agree with jeff. I got two of them less than a year ago. One is flowering right now. I have them potted inside my house.

Hi, I bought 10 bulbs in November. I planted them immediately and everyone of them came out. I am still waiting for flowers.

Hi, I'd treat them like any other cactus. Indoors, bright direct light. Outdoors, since they're still pretty little, maybe not all day direct light until they're a bit bigger. Good luck.

I have two of these planters that have been outside (northern NJ, zone 6a) for most of the last two years without any problems. I plant them with bulbs, leave them outside until January, and then bring them into the basement until March to get the daffodils and tulips started early.

Yes, but it's best plant them in pot at outdoor under shade area. I try indoor, it get very low seed germination rate. Plant them in the pot with plastic bag cover the entire pot. Hope this help.

I planted them in potting soil in a huge pot because I have poor soil. If you have a garden with regular garden soil it should do. They need a trellis or anything you can provide to climb on and they do climb a lot. Mine grew fom the trellis into the tree. They start fairly early on to bloom and fruit but I think it depends on the climate you have how early it will be. They bear until frost.

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

Yes! We live in upstate NY. I bring my plants in during the cold winter months. I place them under simple round grow lights. They did well this last winter. They need a about 6 weeks of cool fall evenings (around 40 degrees F) without freezing temps. in order to flower.

Probably. Definitely if you try to grow them outside. They generally make good houseplants--and can spend the winter inside, but I've always found that they tend to die back and go dormant (not always pretty) even inside. I'd wait until spring to plant the first time. You'll probably be happier with the results. You can also call the vendor for advice on this.

There are no directions, so I think they can just be planted. I started them indoors because I was in too big of a hurry for winter to end!

Mine were fine in zone 5 out in the open. They are blooming now. If you are concerned, make sure they get some protection with mulch or plant in an area near your house where it is usually warmer.

Yes. However keep plants for a week or so in original container with lightly watered to withstand the shock of shipping. After that it can be planted in bigger pot. Keep plants in warm/sunny areas of the house. Potted plants don't need too much water, in winter watering every 10-12 days can be sufficient.

I'm not sure if you can but I put them in potting soil and watered them with unfertalized water and waited until they started visably growing before fertilizing With a liquid fertilizer mixed with water. For me it took about 3 months for them to take root and visably start growing. They are doing great and are about 6 inches tall with 4, 3 inch leaves. I've had them for about 9 months. I'd recommend doing some Internet research and find out what you need to know. I wish you luck.
