So far I haven't had much luck with this. How should this be done?

I've tried for years without any luck .... after blooming they should be moved to a sunny window and feed a mild fertilizer they should keep strong erect stems. ... Around the end of summer start cutting back on the water and let the stems, then roots dry out. pull them up and store in a cool damp place in paet moss & paper bag. They need to rest for 8 weeks or so ... bring them out & start all over again.
Its a lot of work for an inexpensive bulb.

Saving Paperwhite Bulbs

Like people said above, you're not actually saving animals' lives because farmers only breed as many as they need, so you just save some additional animals from being born. I think vegetarianism makes a good statement about the terrible means and condition of edible meat production in this country. It's not really about saving lives (I mean... they're not going to let any of the cows off the hook!), it's more about exposing the terrible conditions of a terrible industry. So, in a way, you can make just as much of a statement by buying cage-free eggs, chicken, etc. No offense, vegetarians! Both are great things to do.

depends on your climate zone.
paperwhites aren't hardy much below freezing.... i THINK, without looking it up, to about 10 deg. F
IF you can spare the space in the basement or other very cool dry place, put them in PAPER bags and reset them in the spring. then refrigerate for 6 weeks prior to planting to "set" the budding process.
Edit:good link from above.. apparently forcing by refrigerating is NOT needed, but I tired of reading BEFORE the article got to "outdoor" growing steps.

I ended up tossing mine that I had saved from last year as I got no response from them!
