Ah, the joy of paperwhites! To force them for Christmas, begin by selecting healthy bulbs and planting them in a pot filled with soil. Place the pot in a cool, dark place for about four to six weeks, ensuring that it receives adequate moisture but no direct sunlight. Once the leaves begin to emerge, move the pot to a warmer location in indirect sunlight and continue to water regularly. Before long, you'll have a beautiful display of fragrant paperwhites blooming in time for the holiday season!
