Firstly.. I am NOT experienced in the subject of indoor bulbs! I have some 'Paperwhites' which have successfully flowered. I'm not sure what to now do with the remaining stems. Any advice/feedback greatfully appreciated.

Hi Shaka29! Great question. Unfortunately, you probably won't like the answer too much. With indoor paperwhites that were forced the next step is to pitch them out. The forcing takes such a toll on them they won't do well in future.

If you are looking for indoor bulbs to keep from year to year, Amaryllis are a better choice. They are not too difficult to rebloom. Here are instructions on how to keep amaryllis from year to year that if you want to give it a try some time.

For more information about forcing paperwhites, readers might be interested in the article I wrote on paperwhites....
