Spray pots white? If you decide to do this look for a primer for plastic surfaces, then use spray paint intended for outdoors. Maybe line pots with bubble wrap, against inside surface of pot / between pot and soil.

The growing medium in my pots is becoming much hotter than the native soil where many of my bulbs are planted. Last weekend I made a shade structure of ½" gray PVC pipe and shade cloth, in an attempt to keep the pots cooler. The heat seem to be drying out the stems before they finisher blooming.
