Pots for Hieronymiella?

Thank you Martin.
I read online that it prefers a colder, near freezing rest? So I will try to do this, let's see if this does the trick.
Cheers,

Hi Vlad,

My (currently  unavailable) source for Hieronymiella marginata stated it
would be very unhappy in pots and would prefer open ground. I tried
that, it flowered first year, got digged up, dry storage for winter, and
came back next year without flowering. I ordered a second one, one time
flowering (first bulb again leaves only), and then... well, as it
happens in my heavy ground, i damaged one bulb on digging it um, didn't
get through dry storage even though I thought I had cleaned it up
thoroughly. If you find a less dangerous solution, even giving regular
flowers, I'm all here for that.

I hope a bad experience helps you more than no experience at all :-(

Hello everyone,
I was trying to find more information on cultivating this genera, but there is not much to find.
Finally got some nice bulbs of Hieronymiella marginata and if I follow my instinct, I would plant them rather in deeper pots. They have long necks (about 12 cm/ 5 inches).
A few years back, I was lucky enough to get some bulbils of Hieronymiella tarijensis. That person recommended me to grow them rather in wide pots. Which I did, they grew well and are much bigger now.
I am puzzled. Shall I follow my instinct and plant both in deep pots? Would 40 cm/ 15 inches be deep enough? This is how I have planted my Rhodophiala and they grow well.
Any advice is very much appreciated.
Thank you,
