It's time to pot your paperwhites for the holidays. Paperwhites add color and fragrance to your home. They also make a beautiful and thoughtful gift.

You will need:
- A pretty container without drainage holes
- One bag of high quality sterile potting soil
- Paperwhite bulbs - about 6 -10 per container - the more crowded the container the better.
- Decorative rocks for the top of the container.

Chill the paperwhite bulbs in the refrigerator for 4 - 6 weeks. Fill your container part way with soil and arrange your paperwhites, tips up, on top. Fill the rest of the container with soil. Place a layer of rocks on top. Water well and place in a location that receives at least 6 hours of natural light daily. The warmer the spot the faster the paperwhites will grow. For continuous flowers, plant lots of containers, bowls, baskets and anything else you can think of.
