Method 1: Planting Flower Bulbs Using Egg Cartons
Egg cartons are perfect for starting small bulbs or bulb-like plants.
How to do it:
Use a paper (not plastic) egg carton.
Poke a small hole at the bottom of each cup for drainage.
Fill each cup with potting soil.
Place one small flower bulb in each cup, pointed side up.
Cover lightly with soil and water gently.
Place the carton in a sunny spot and keep the soil moist.
When it’s time to transplant, simply cut apart the cups and plant them directly into the soil. The carton will naturally decompose.
Method 2: Planting Flower Bulbs in Toilet Paper Rolls
Toilet paper rolls are excellent for bulbs that need deeper root space.
How to do it:
Cut small slits at the bottom of the roll and fold them inward to form a base.
Place the roll upright on a tray.
Fill with soil.
Plant the bulb inside, ensuring the tip faces upward.
Water lightly and place in a bright location.
When planting outdoors, bury the entire roll in the ground—no need to remove the bulb.
