7.10 Pot narcissi: Period in the greenhouse
Transfer the pots to the greenhouse after the bulbs have received the entire cold period.

If necessary, the cultivar Tête à Tête may be stored at 0.5 to 2°C for another 2 to 3 weeks for retarding before transferring the pots to the greenhouse. This does not impair the quality. The same method may also be applied after the pots have been stored in the greenhouse for one week.

The amount of water must be carefully applied to prevent quality reduction.

After 1 to 2 weeks in the greenhouse at a temperature of 15-18°C, the pots are ready to be marketed. They will have developed a few leaves, which will enhance their appearance at point of sale. A clean pot supplied with a label with instructions and a note that the pot may be placed in the garden after flowering, will also help to boost sales.
