One of the best ways to bring the joy of the garden indoors for winter is by forcing bulbs, i.e. tricking them to bloom early for an indoor display. This is a particularly popular practice for festive displays, and they even make beautiful holiday gifts. To take your indoor bulb display up a level, you can dabble in hydroponics and grow bulbs in water.
When it comes to forcing bulbs in water, there are only a handful of steps to follow. But, not all indoor bulbs to force for Christmas are suited to a hydroponic growing method. Amaryllis, for example, is often better forced in soil.
