The soil should be breathable and some base fertilizer should be added to the soil. If you want to prepare the soil yourself, you can mix leaf mold, sandy soil and base fertilizer in a ratio of 6:3:1.

After that, slowly fill the soil and gently press the soil around it to fix the bulb. It is important to note that the bulbs should not be damaged.
