The bulbs need to be kept at 35 to 45 degrees F. for the entire cooling period of 16 to 18 weeks. If you live where outdoor winter temperatures rarely get below 25 degrees F, just keep the pots of bulbs moist and store them right in the garden beneath a layer of straw.
Flowering should begin in three to four weeks after the bulbs come in out of the cold. Keep 'em coming by removing pots from cold storage at every other week. Newfangled forcing: Place tulip bulbs in a brown paper or mesh bag, then tuck the bag into the refrigerator vegetable crisper for seven or eight weeks. And it's OK if you forget about them for up to 14 weeks (out of sight is out of mind ...). This chilling method will work if you don't keep fruit in the fridge.
