Kristen,
Here's something Bill has in the Garden Helper...
Forcing Bulbs indoors And another from here as well...................
Forcing Bulbs Gardengal,
I think personally why they say that is because,
when grown inside the house, their
growing requirements are not met as equalaly as it would be out side, thus weakening the bulbs, and I guess when the biggest process for the bulb is when it's dying or rendering back down, they need the proper amounts of sunlight to sap the
energy or green juice from the leaves to put
back into the bulbs for next years
flower.....
And without the proper
growing conditions, each of the following years, if you save the bulbs, will or would be littler and littler each year after!!!!!!!
Thus, just replacing it everytime...
*it's a throw away society*
Because people want the same size~good sized blooms every year and don't want to put time
into a small or less spectacular bloom.....
Weezie
Does all that make any sense???
I would give it a shot, try it.
Just for your own satification in knowing you
could or could not do it.....
