If you’ve forced paperwhite daffodils in the past and struggled with tall floppy plants, this tip can help! 💮
A simple swap of 1 part alcohol to 8 parts water (vodka, rum or whiskey work best) in your forcing vase after you see 1 to 2 inches of foliage will stunt the growth of your bulbs just enough to keep them a bit shorter and less floppy as they continue grow.
