After you plant it and water it, cover the pot with plastic wrap and put it somewhere warm and dark— only put it in the light once the growth emerges from the soil!

For example, I put mine on top of my dryer :)

Of course!!! YouTube is your friend— it’s how I figured out how to properly plant the bulb and welcome it to the world!!

It’ll need lots of light once it grows, but it will grow FAST and is a great way to boost your confidence as a plant parent!
