We need to know what Bulbos you purchased. I can read the tag on the Bulb. pardolatum and I have one. Search the forum for a thread by TommyMiami where I told him what the requirements are.

pardalotum , cocoinum , scaberulum , nymphopolitanum. sorry about that

Hopefully someone else has the other three and can help you with the culture. I don't have them and can't offer advice.

The conditions you have should be fine. They can establish and grow pretty quick so I would not hesitate on the basket. They also like to be mounted. They have shallow root systems, which I find leads to rot if the medium is stagnant.

Whats with the bio-balls?

I had them and found that they make a better surface to set pots on then pebbels
