Large bulbs such as giant alliums or big decorative lilies may require deeper planting and wider spacing, so they are better planted individually.

Styrofoam cartons
Plastic containers

Ideal Planting Depth Guide
A general rule:
Plant bulbs at a depth of 2–3 times their height.
Examples:
Tulips & daffodils: 12–15 cm
Crocus & muscari: 6–8 cm
Hyacinths: 10–12 cm
Dig the trench accordingly before placing the cartons.

Tips for Successful Growth
1. Use Healthy Bulbs Only
Choose bulbs that are:
Firm
Mold‑free
Not soft or shriveled
Weak bulbs produce weak flowers.
2. Plant at the Right Time
Spring flowers → plant in autumn
Summer flowers → plant in spring after frost
Cold‑season bulbs need winter chilling to bloom properly.
3. Improve Soil Quality
Mix into the soil:
Compost
Well‑rotted manure
Leaf mold
Good drainage is essential. Bulbs rot easily in soggy soil.
4. Position Bulbs Correctly
Always place bulbs:
Pointed end upward
Flat or root end downward
If unsure, plant sideways—bulbs can self‑correct.
