Some of the most beloved garden plants grow from “tender bulbs,” which means they need special care in the fall and winter, said a University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator.

Tender Flowering Bulbs Should be Lifted Now
Cut the tip an inch above the corms, and cure the corms for two to four weeks in a warm spot with good air circulation. Store the corms in onion bags or old nylon stockings hung in a place with a temperature of 35 to 45 F and good air circulation.

Solving Colchicum Problems
Prevent this by laying down a mulch layer over the corms right after the ground freezes in the fall. Moles tunnel through beds in search of earthworms and insects, but mice also use their tunnels to get at the corms.

Solving Gladiola Problems
Bulb mites are about 1/50 inch long, barely visible to the unaided eye. They attack below ground on gladiolus corms which become hard and light chocolate-brown colored. The dried corm pulp breaks up into corky fragments, on which hundreds of mites feed.
