‘Drop In’ Bulb Pod Aftercare

Since the tray biodegrades then there is no need to remove it from the ground at any point, the bulbs will grow in the arrangement there were in the tray.

Aftercare depends on the variety of bulbs in the tray you planted. A general rule is to make sure to water well throughout the year, so the ground is damp but not soaking. In most cases this is all you will have to do!

But for more tailored advice then check the packaging the pod came in and/or visit the specific section on this site for the type of bulbs you planted. If you have unique or uncommon variety then the RHS website will be your best bet for finding aftercare information.
