Answer to Question 1

To prevent mice or rodents from damaging stored bulbs, dust them with pesticide prior
to storage. Many pests can be controlled by maintenance of good cultural conditions,
such as removing weeds and other rubbish that provide a natural home for insects and
disease organisms



Answer to Question 2

Bulbs flowering in the spring should be dug after the foliage turns yellow and dies back.
Some, like tulip and hyacinth bulbs, should be replanted every year to ensure highquality
blooming, while daffodil, crocus, lily, and colchicum bulbs should be dug up every
3 to 5 years, thinned, and replanted. Summer flowering bulbs, like dahlia, tuberousrooted
begonias, calla, and gladiolus, should be dug after the first fall frost has killed the
foliage. It is important that the foliage of the bulbs has no green color in it.
