Default Re: Colocasia Gigantea Thailand Giant Strain bulb

Sure! I debated about that. I kept it dry because I was afraid of rot. This one already has some on the bottom-if you look close you might be able to see it. I baked it in the sun for a couple days and put hydrogen peroxide on the area. I'm afraid I might lose it this winter regardless. I suppose wetting it is ok too-too dry and dry rot can set in on colocasia bulbs. But in the past I kept it in a pot in dry potting soil so I think dry peat will work. However I had the old leaf sheaths to protect the outside of the tuber-now they aren't there to shield the tuber. I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway!
