Growing Paperwhite Bulbs Indoors
Ziva paperwhite bulbs are easy to grow indoors—just plant, water, and enjoy the transformation from shoots to blooms without any chilling requirements.
Soil and Container Options
Grow paperwhites in potting soil or decorative pebbles; both containers with or without drainage can be used, depending on your setup.
Planting Instructions
Place bulbs pointed side up in a container filled with soil or pebbles, add water to reach the base, keep in a cool bright spot until shoots emerge, then move to a warmer location.
Sunlight and Watering
Once growing, paperwhites need bright indirect light and consistent water levels near the bulb base; soil-grown ones should stay lightly moist.
Supporting Tall Stems
Use stakes, twine, or diluted alcohol to prevent tall stems from flopping and help keep the display neat and upright.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
