Other information
- First loosen the soil well where the flower bulbs will be planted. Then the soil is easier to work with.
- Dig a hole and make sure it is 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the bulbs.
- For the distance between the bulbs, make sure it is 2 times the diameter of the flower bulbs.
- Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
- Cover the bulbs with soil and water them well.
