Keep a flowering primrose close to its nursery root-ball size, moving only about 1 inch wider when repotting is necessary. The flower display spreads beyond the small fibrous roots and should not determine diameter.

For soil forcing, choose a pot that holds bulbs close without touching and leaves room for roots below them. Bulb count determines diameter; the dense flower spikes should not be used to justify an oversized wet pot.

For soil forcing, choose a pot wide enough to place bulbs close together without touching and verify enough depth for roots below them. Leave the bulb noses above the mix; diameter depends on bulb count, not flower height.
