Malik sb, flower bulbs are very easy in containers, although the season of spring flowering bulbs has passed but you can still plant tuberoses as a beginner they are available from Awan seed store, commitee chowk.

1. Get a large sized pyala type pot about 18 inches of diameter, fill it half way with a quick draining soil with lots of manure.

2. Plant the tuberose bulbs in them spacing about 2 inches apart, fill the pot up to the brim with soil just leaving enough space for watering.

3. Apply DAP fertilizer every 15 days just a teaspoon for a good start and wait for the foliage and then flowers... Simple :)
