Dear Friends, This is a frequent discussion, but some bulbs do not take to growing in pots although the reason may not be clear. And some may be very slow to adjust to incorrect planting depth. Indeed Lycoris do not bloom well in pots and they have preferred planting depths. Other bulbs are far more tolerant. This is the value of this group as we discuss specific examples of what works and what fails. I love to hear of these challenges. Makes the next round so much easier. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
