Can tulips be grown in containers indoors?

Our Advice:

Yes, tulips can be grown in containers indoors, but they may require more care and attention than outdoor plants. Choose a container that is at least 12 inches deep with drainage holes and fill it with well-draining potting mix. Plant the bulbs with the pointed end facing up, cover with soil, and water thoroughly. Place the container in a cool location with bright, indirect light until shoots emerge. Move the container to a sunny location and water regularly until the bulbs bloom.
