All the vendors have the same varieties though different rates, They all get it from the same importer.

Arif sb all them were grown in true 10 inch pots and later some of them were shifted in the ground. True 10 inch pots are suitable for a single lilium bulb as long as the medium is good.

I think 14 inch should be minimum. The bulb should be plnted atleast 6 inch deep for the stem roots. How high are your plants. Mine are in 14 inch pot 2 to 3 feet tall depending on the variety.

None of my liliums are higher than 2 feet, to tell you the truth I am fearful of bulbs dying though six inch is recomended depth for liliums I only plant the bulb in enough depth as to I am able to see the top part of the bulb above the soil, I do this for all the bulbs even ryzomes of anemone and ranunculus.
