TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS AND INDOOR USE OF FORCING BULB PLANTS

Abstract

The flower bulb plant variety (such as daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, tulips and others) can have a hugely attractive effect on any garden or indoor design. This paper presents the benefits of indoor utilization of bulb and rhizome plants decor, such as Narcissus, Tulipa, Cyclamen, Crocus, Amaryllis, Convalaria, Fritillaria, Hyacinthus and most importantly, the technological process of forcing the bulbs to produce plants during winter, or early spring, in a season when flower decoration in quite poor. The thermal “cold” treatment and the subsequent care methods, but also the required tools and accessories will be revealed. In addition to that, this paper offers details about an alternative culture method, such as the hidroculture and its techniques.
