How often should you water Chionodoxa?
Spring bulbs need plenty of water once you can see them – especially those in pots. Once they’ve finished flowering, don’t scrimp on the watering; bulbs need watering for at least six weeks after they finish flowering until the leaves die down and they go dormant. Summer-flowering bulbs can be over wintered in their pots, but you should replace the soil in the pot during winter or early spring while the bulb is dormant so that it has fresh soil to grow in for the next season.
