Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Paperwhite growing kit is straightforward, ensuring beautiful blooms with minimal effort. Paperwhites thrive indoors with proper light and moisture. Place your pot in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. A south or west-facing window is often ideal. While they enjoy warmth, avoid placing them directly above heat vents, which can dry out the soil too quickly. The ideal indoor temperature range is between 60-70°F (15-21°C).

Watering is crucial for healthy growth. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but never waterlogged. Check the soil moisture daily; if the top inch feels dry, it’s time to water. Ensure the pot has drainage holes or be careful not to overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to bulb rot. Once the flowers appear, you can reduce watering slightly, but continue to keep the soil from drying out completely. No special fertilization is typically needed for Paperwhites grown in a kit, as the bulbs contain all the necessary nutrients for their initial bloom cycle.

The bulbs in this Paperwhite growing kit will typically grow to be 20-24 inches tall. To encourage sturdy stems and prevent them from becoming leggy, you can try adding a small amount of rubbing alcohol (about 5-10% solution) to the water once the shoots are a few inches tall. This technique, known as “pickling,” can help keep the plants more compact. After blooming, Paperwhite bulbs are generally discarded as they are unlikely to rebloom indoors. However, the delightful experience they provide makes them a worthwhile seasonal favorite. Enjoy your beautiful narcissus paperwhite kit throughout the holiday season and beyond.
