They descend
rapidly during the growing season. Even if you don't normally crock
your pots, it's a good idea to do so with bulbs that "drop" like
this, because they will otherwise drop right into the drain hole and
clog it, resulting in rot at worst or a broken pot at best. When I
had everything in clay pots plunged in sand (see current discussion
on "plunge media"), I put a few pieces of lava rock around the drain
hole to prevent this.
