    If this happened after it was repotted, it could simply be focusing on growing roots. As long as the plant looks healthy overall, I would not worry about it. It should start to grow again in a few weeks, particularly as the weather warms up.

    A layer for the water to drain to is advisable. Some people use rocks and others use styrofoam peanuts. Both will work.

    You want a high acid fertilizer. Fertilizers sold for azaleas or holly shrubs will work well. While I cannot name a brand I know will be sold in your area, I am confident that there will be one of the fertilizers I mentioned at your local nursery store.

    Care for them as you would a houseplant until the leaves have yellowed and dies back. Make sure to place them in bright light and water when the top of the soil is dry to the touch. Once the leaves die back, place the plant in a dark dry place. Then, when you are ready to plant the bulbs, remove them from the soil and plant them outside.

    If they have been forced, they can be planted in the ground. But in Zone 7, you may have trouble getting them to chill over the winter. They need at least 7-8 weeks of temps below 45 to bloom the following year. These articles will help:
