Look for a pot that's at least 2-3 times wider than the bulb's diameter and that's 3-4 times the height to ensure you're planting the bulbs low enough. Make sure the pot has drainage holes so water doesn't sit in the soil for too long or cause your bulbs to rot. Plan to get 1 pot for every 3-5 bulbs you have. Put a piece of broken pot over the drainage holes so the compost doesn't fall out. Find a good compost mix from your local gardening store or use your own. Cover the bottom 23 inches (5.17.6cm) of the pot with the mixture and pack it down lightly so you have a level surface. Don't pack the compost too tightly or else the roots may have trouble growing once your lilies are in season. You can use things like organic garden compost, food scraps, or a packaged perlite mixture. Set the bulbs about 1 inch (2.5cm) from the edge of the pot in a circular pattern. Leave about 12 inch (1.3cm) between each bulb so they have time to grow without getting too crowded. Make sure the pointed ends of the bulbs are face up or else your plant won't grow. Use a regular potting soil mix or a compost mixture for filling the rest of your pot. Continue filling the pot with another 68 inches (1520cm) of the soil and level it off near the top. Pack the dirt in lightly so it compacts around the bulbs and promotes healthy growth. Don't back the dirt too tightly or else the flowers will have trouble growing and blooming. Use a watering can or a hose to dampen the soil. Continue watering your bulbs until the soil is wet 6 inches (15cm) below the surface. Set the bulbs in an area that gets 8-10 hours of sunlight daily so the bulbs have time to establish themselves before the growing season. You can keep the pot outside if there isn't an area inside your home that gets full sun. Keep the soil in the pot moist throughout the winter so your bulbs get water.

What is a summary?
Get a pot that's at least 3-4 times the height of the largest bulb. Fill the bottom of the pot with 23in (5.17.6cm) of compost. Place 3-5 bulbs 12in (1.3cm) apart in the compost so the pointed ends face up. Cover the top of the bulbs with 68in (1520cm) of soil. Water the bulbs and keep them in an area with 8-10 hours of sun per day.
