Pots for Hieronymiella?

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,

Vlad Hempel
