I am forcing paperwhite narcissus bulbs, and the roots are poking out of the bottom of the pot. What do I do?

I recently planted some paperwhites. Two bulbs to each four inch pot. They are growing nicely, but the roots are begining to come out the drainage hole in the pot. Is this bad, or should I just let them be?

I have forced paperwhites for years and the same thing happens to me. You could put them in a larger pot and add some extra soil, but because they don't last long, it may be worth your while to let them be.
Reply:Nothing. They are fine, and you are going to toss them after bloom anyway.
