Flower seed storage methods, wintering methods for some bulbous flowers

Tuberose tubers: After the first frost, dig out the tubers, cut off all leaves, remove the old original tubers, and dry them thoroughly in the sun. Then store them in a dry place at room temperature of 10°C to 15°C, and do not let them become damp.

Dahlia tuberous roots: From late autumn to early winter, after the leaves turn yellow and wither, cut off the aboveground part about 10 cm from the base, dig out the tuberous roots, and dry them in the sun for 3 to 5 days. Then spray with a 500-fold dilution of 10% carbendazim, bury them in slightly moist sand or fine soil, and store at 3°C to 5°C. During storage, check 2 to 3 times, and promptly pick out any that have rotted. If the sand or soil is too dry, temporarily separate it from the tuberous roots, moisten the sand or soil, and then bury the tuberous roots again.

Amaryllis bulbs: In early December, dig up the bulbs, cut off the leaves, remove all roots, and soak them in a 0.2% potassium permanganate solution at 35°C for 1 hour. Then take them out, let them dry, bury them in slightly moist sand, and store them in a place at 5°C to 10°C. If there are not many bulbs, they can also be planted in pots with the top slightly exposed above the soil surface.

Canna rhizomes: Before the early frost arrives, cut off all stems and leaves. Dig out the rhizomes, keep the original soil around them, cover them completely with sand or dry soil, and store them at a temperature not exceeding 10°C.
