These are gladioli, dahlias, beadlets and tuberous begonias, as well as less known hymenoptera, tigers, vermilion (crocosmas) and galltones. The underground organs of these plants are planted into the ground in spring and dug up in September and October. This treatment should not be delayed, especially in rainy and cool weather, as the underground parts rot easily in cold and moist soil. In September, among others, bulbs of hymenoptera, sprekelia and paniculate bulbs, and tubers of glaucoma, ixia, sparaxis and coronary anemone. A little longer, until October, tubers of dahlia, freesia, gloriosis and cinnabarium, gallonia and nerin bulbs and the rhizomes of the bead can remain in the ground.Before digging, the shoots of the plants are pruned to a height of 10-15 cm and then carefully dug up. The excavated organs are stored for several days in a warm and dry room, and after drying, they are cleaned of soil and dead debris, and then placed in openwork boxes or baskets. The bulbs, tubers and rhizomes are kept in the temperature from +2 to 15OC throughout the winter. Some, such as washerworm bulbs, dahlia carps and gloriasis tubers, should be stored in sawdust, peat dust or sand.
