A large number of experienced flowerflowers for stimulating the germination of tubers carry out their prehea. For this, the bulbs simply lay out on wet fabric and placed in a warm place. In a dark room there should be a temperature of 25ºС. After the appearance of the first roots of tubosis is considered to be ready for landing.
A special solution is used as an additional tool for stimulating the development of tubers. The bulbs are 1/3 in heights withstand over 12 hours in a mixture of Kornin and Zircon. As a result, an effective biostimulator accelerates the appearance of the roots.

In urban conditions, a balcony or veranda is perfect for this. However, in the cultivation of an exotic flower in the garden, a reliable protection against drafts should be provided;
- humidity level.A perennial plant constantly needs air humidity from 50 to 80%. Thus, the flower is recommended to spray several times a day. In the hot period, special "irrigation" is impossible to produce. The fact is that water droplets on the burning sun can perform the function of lenses and provoke strong burns;
- feeding fertilizers.For systematic development of tubers, it is necessary to make special feeding. To increase the green mass of the plant and the increase in the color saw use high-quality mineral compounds / solutions (40 grams per 10 liters of water).

- competent trimming and garter. In the development process, the plant reserves faded foliage, broken inflorescences and damaged shoots. Long stems are quite easily broken, for which they are neatly tied up. In October, the drooped and yellow folias are cut off by a secateur. Removing the ground part of the flower, you can provoke an "anabiosis" of the bulbs;
- high-quality trashing of tubers.After a few weeks of rest, the bulbs can be transferred to the illuminated place and start small watering. To do this, you should choose a convenient pot in diameter from 5 to 7 cm. The capacity is filled with soil from the garden / garden with a slight addition of sand. After some time, the tube will give first sprouts. After germs for the 7th month, flowering occurs.

This method is based on the right growing products, crop rotation, selection of planting material, the use of standards-based fertilizers, weed control and timely compliance with the drying mode bulbs. Classical digging soil formation with a turnover promotes efficient destruction of various parasites and pests;
- mechanical collection medvedok, beetles, slugs. Properly placed traps may facilitate purification infield against insects;
- physics—thermal method. This embodiment comprises a heat treatment of bulbs by lowering them into the water for 5 minutes at a temperature in 50-55ºS. Thus, onion mite and nematode dies. There is an effective mechanism tubers tuberose steaming;
- biological variation. Based on the use of natural enemies. For example, birds readily feed on various insects and larvae. To do this, we need only to draw their attention to the plant;
- mechanism of chemical attack It includes the use of pesticides. For this tuberose tubers treated before planting TMTD 1% solution, 0.2% sodium and fluid euparena fundazol. When the plant overcomes onion mite, rational use of combined formulations is: 0.2 + 0.2% fundazol "BI-58"; TMTD 1% + 6.2% "BI-58"; 0.2-0.3% + malathion. Throughout the growing period, growers produce spray all parts polianthes leaves. The infection can penetrate into the flower vase life when he shoots. In this case, the working tool must be sterilized with alcohol and potassium permanganate.
If on the territory of the infield is not possible to alternate between culture, the soil before planting should be treated with formalin. For this purpose, taking 250 ml of the product and dissolved in 10 L of water. This mixture was used per 1 m2 of the soil at a temperature of 0 degrees.
