Soil. Simply any type of soil will do. Prepare the planting holes by digging them 8-12 inches deep. Fill the holes with rich compost or 3-4 inches of peat moss. Plant the bulbs immediately. If you are planting container grown bulbs, a good way to create a misting bed is to first add a thin layer of pebbles or marbles to the bottom of the bed. Water the bulb for the first time 8-10 inches deep.
Fertilizer. To boost flowering, add a good bulb fertilizer to the bulbs in the late fall or early spring. Some natural all-purpose fertilizer is good for bulbs. It is possible to use a slow release fertilizer with a sulfur or magnesium number, but the bulb should be in the dark as often as possible to prevent mold. If mold is a problem, try a bulb booster which contains more magnesium or lime.
