Zephyranthes

Guys, The bulbs were growing in 1-gal pots (ca. 7 in. diam x 7 inches deep)
with 3 or 4 to 6 or 7 bulbs per pot for the larger bulbs (Zephyranthes).
There were more seedlings per pot, and more of the smaller tubispathus
bulbs per pot.
Charles emphasized (after 40 years of growing these things in pots in
greenhouses) that rain lilies need lots of healthy roots if you want to see
them bloom. That says to me that the pots need to be at least as deep as
wide.
Have fun!

There is nohard and fast rule for this Aad. Bulbs like drummondii are
huge, tubispathus are small. Which bulbs are they?

Zephyranthes and Habranthes bulbs from BX 355 are much larger as my 1
year old seedlings.
So how many bulbs and what size container would be a good choice.
