I will add that you must have good drainage in the pot or the bulb could rot. That does look like blackout Rick and you shouldn't need a support on it. Stem are fairly sturdy and it doesn't get over 4 feet. Im not sure what you mean by a bulb that is broken in smaller peices. Last but not least don't be afraid to scale. Just grab two scales from each bulb if you are too nervous to scale a full bulb.
