How to Grow Tulips Indoors

Growing tulips indoors can be a rewarding experience, especially if you live in a climate that doesn’t support outdoor tulip growth. With the right care and attention, you can enjoy beautiful tulips in your home year-round..

Indoor tulips can bloom in any season, so you can enjoy their vibrant colors and fragrances whenever you want. The growing season for indoor tulips is typically from January to April, but you can force them to bloom at any time of the year.

Tulips require a cold period of at least 12 to 16 weeks before they can bloom, so you’ll need to plan accordingly. You can either refrigerate the bulbs or store them in a cool, dark place, such as an unheated garage, until it’s time to plant them.

What Do Inside Tulips Require

Once you’re ready to start growing your tulips, choose a container that’s at least 6 inches deep and has good drainage. Tulips require bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures between 60 and 68°F. Since they love full sun, pot them next to a window or with a grown light.
