All,

For nice compact leaves, and assuming you have mature bulbs, I find a heavy 
first couple of waterings and then keeping plants dry produces the best 
results.

L. zebrina - I grow this in a rockery much easier than pots. I suspect the 
bulb wants to be deep.

Tim in Thousand Oaks, also mourning many plants.
