Looking to grow papwerwhites in pots in the greenhouse. Any advice?

Not expert and I don't do them but Jan has good results every year -
planted in groups of two or three in coarse gravel only - no
soil/compost - watered up to the base of the bulb. They go in full light
in the conservatory and are normally beginning to flower in one and a
half to two weeks - last for about another two and a half in flower - no
fertiliser but water level kept topped up to the bottom of the bulb. She
normally plants another pot just as the first begin to show signs of
fading and that way we have a continuous flowering from December
onwards.

Regards, Colin
