A good potting soil for African Violets actually contains no soil (or dirt) at all. A good potting soil will be very light and porous, a quality which enhances aeration, while keeping the soil moist, but not soggy.
Planting and Watering Lilies. Lily bulbs should be planted as deep as two to three times their height. They should not be planted more deeply as this increases the chances of bulb rot. Lilies need moist, rich and cool soil for optimal growth. The soil needs to have good drainage if the lilies are to grow well at all. Lily bulbs need to be planted as soon as they are bought and should not be bruised or allowed to dry. They should be watered well immediately after planting, then watered as needed to keep the soil moist. At the first hint of growth they should be heavily watered only about once in a week.
