In a 10-inch pot, how many bulbs can I plant of Hyacinthus? Is Canadian peat moss, topsoil & perlite great for Hyacinthus?

For a 10-inch pot, you can typically plant about 5 to 7 hyacinth bulbs, depending on their size and the spacing you prefer. Here’s a guideline for planting:
Planting Hyacinth Bulbs in a 10-Inch Pot:

Spacing:
Bulb Size: If the bulbs are larger, you might want to space them a bit further apart. For smaller bulbs, you can plant them closer together.
General Rule: Plant bulbs about 2-3 inches apart from each other. This allows them enough space to grow and develop without overcrowding.

Planting Depth:
Plant bulbs about 4-6 inches deep. This means that the top of the bulb should be about 4-6 inches below the soil surface.

Soil: Use well-drained potting mix. Hyacinths prefer a soil mix that retains some moisture but doesn’t become waterlogged.

Potting: Ensure the pot has good drainage holes to prevent excess water from sitting at the bottom, which can lead to bulb rot.

Arrangement: You can plant the bulbs in a single layer, or if you want a fuller look, you can plant a second layer of bulbs on top of the first, ensuring that each layer is separated by soil.
