If the kidneys are sleeping, we store in the refrigerator in perforated bags with moistened moss or in the basement in boxes with the ground, the temperature is 0...+4 ° C.

If the kidneys are touched, we plant the plant in a greenhouse or in a pot. We contain winter -hardy crops at a temperature of +3... +5 ° C, plants with a fragile root system and heat -loving crops are planted in pots, contain at a temperature of +15... +17 ° C, gradually increasing it to +20... 22 ° C.

During storage, periodically check the condition of the planting material. Deviling parts of roots, rhizomes and bulbs remove and treat and treat with fungicide (topaz, phytosporin).

Please remember that transportation and transplant is stress for plants. Before planting in open ground, treat the root system with a growth stimulant (Epin, Circus, NV101, Ferovit).

Planting place

M, it is necessary to make humus and peat, half a liter of ash, 1 tbsp. spoon of urea and superphosphate. The soil is dug to a depth of 35-40 cm, level, slightly compacted, watered. In places where lilies grow, water should not stagnate. You can plant lilies in open ground in the spring (second half of May) or in the fall (until the end of September). For planting in the soil, it is necessary to make holes with a depth equal to the size of three bulbs at a distance of 25-35 cm from each other, pure sand is poured on the bottom.
