All,

For nice compact leaves, and assuming you have mature bulbs, I find a heavy
first couple of waterings and then keeping plants dry produces the best
results.

L. zebrina - I grow this in a rockery much easier than pots. I suspect the
bulb wants to be deep.

I figured high light would be good...and here in the not always sunny
northeast, I've given them pretty intense artificial light and still
have leaves like a Dutch Lop Ear. Perhaps because it's their first year
here? I'll withhold judgment on them until next year (and will see if
they bloom this year--I think I have buds on the way).
