A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Paper Whites. What do I do after they finish blooming?

I was given some Paper Whites Bulbs for Christmas that were in a bowl and I was told to just add water and let them grow. They have grown and are now in full bloom

After that finish blooming, what do I do with the bulbs? Do I drain the water out and let them dry? Do I let them rest? I have not done this type growing before and just not sure what to do with the bulbs. Any help will be appreciated.

Most people just throw them away...they usually will not bloom again even if you do all the necessary steps to try to get them to.

In my warm climate I plant them outside.
