What is your favorite potting mix or medium?
Time to think about this: pottins soil is often designed to hold moisture, and bulbs don't like it too wet. One year I bought a really chunky, barky potting mix and I couldn't keep it wet enough.
Do you add sand as if you were potting succulents?
Any suggestions are most welcome
thank you

Best Potting medium for bulbs?
When using pots, the problem I have with standard potting soil is that it is light and fluffy and bulbs sometimes tend to heave themselves out of it when they root - especially hyacinths. I like a heavier soil....maybe topsoil mixed with some sand and compost mix? In the ground I use the above combination or buy Scott's 3-in-1 compost mix and combine it half and half with the native soil and some sand.
