Default Best way of growing bulbs


"john royce" wrote in message news:...
Have just bought a couple of hycinth bulbs ( becoming orange colour which
i cannot recollect seeing before).

I thought i would suspend the bulbs over jar of water, like those
specially shaped hycinth bulb jars i saw some years ago.

My question is: will they do as well suspended above water as they would
planted in john innes (since i'm thinking all the nutrient needed is
already in the bulb?)

If they are as happy above water, would it make any useful difference if i
were to say add growmore granules to the water as an additional nutrient?
Thanks for advice.
