When I first heard about adding gin, vodka, or rubbing alcohol to paperwhite bulbs, to stunt their growth and keep them from getting too leggy, I knew I had to give it a try. Here is a video of when I planted two containers to try this technique. One will have just water added, and the other will have a mixture of water and gin.

I plan on making a second video to show the containers each week to see if adding gin to my paperwhites kept the stalks shorter than without. Stay Tuned
