is that a bernese mountain dog i see?
He’s a tri colored Australian shepherd. He’s also about 20 pounds over his average expected weight for his breed.

he’s adorable
Sorry, I'm a dog nut and got distracted by pups, but the bulbs are really cool too!
I've only grown the lily personally, it's almost spooky how fast they grow. They shoot up, and it's awesome. I really want to try the onion one though, they look really nice.

They only look that way, don’t let him fool you! (Lol but I’ll tell him for you)

awwwww
Gently squeeze the bulbs with your fingers and see if any are squishy or soft, these are rotting and probably won't grow.
The remaining bulbs can be put into small (1-2 litre) plastic icecream containers with gravel, lawn/ garden fertiliser, clay and more gravel and they should grow well. Bulbs need heaps of nutrients and usually starve in a normal aquarium unless it has lots of fertiliser, hence the plastic icecream container. Below is how we used to grow them.
If the bulbs grow well for the first 2 months and then die, that is because of lack of nutrients. The plants use up all the stored nutrients in the bulb and then starve.
-------------------
GROWING PLANTS IN POTS.
We use to grow plants in 1 or 2 litre plastic icecream containers. You put an inch of gravel in the bottom of the container, then spread a thin layer of granulated garden fertiliser over the gravel. Put a 1/4inch (6mm) thick layer of red/ orange clay over the fertiliser. Dry the clay first and crush it into a powder. Then cover that with more gravel.
You put the plants in the gravel and as they grow, their roots hit the clay and fertiliser and they take off and go nuts. The clay stops the fertiliser leaching into the water.
You can smear silicon on the outside of the buckets and stick gravel or sand to them so it is less conspicuous. Or you can let algae grow on them and the containers turn green.
