Training bulbs tostorage
Before you remove the bulb flowers in the cellar, they need to prepare for the winter - this is half the success. I usually tidy up "harvest" bulbs and spend preparatory procedures in the following order:
- First we need to carefully dig out the roots of flowers. Usually the bulbs are dug in late September-early October.
- Dug onions washed and leave in a solution of potassium permanganate (pink) for half an hour.
- Thoroughly dry the crop. At this stage you need to be very careful not dosushennaya bulb can destroy the entire crop.
- After all this, I further disinfect the bulbs for greater reliability, but you can not do this. After that, they need to be dry again.

The apartment is also possible to store the tubers gladiolus, here's how to do it:
- The loggia. The bulbs are placed in boxes in a single layer and put on something. When the cold weather, cover with a blanket boxes.
- In fridge. Summer residents living in the city, part of the crop is stored in the refrigerator. On the shelf of the fridge, you can leave the tubers in a box or wrapped in paper.
- In the room. Basically, if there are no other options, you can leave gladioli directly in the room. Select should be very dark and cool place, wrapped corms in paper and put in a plastic bag with holes.
