Default Re: bringing stuff indoors...

Hello Again,
I am in Zone 6ish
SLC utah.

I put most my stuff in a wind sheltered location... also the north side of my house that wont get any winter sun.

Some of the things like Tetrapanax and petasites havent been in long enough to develop good roots that I think will overwinter. Same with the canna musafolia.

I just got back from the greenhouse and he said they will be tight on space, and it would cost a fortune to house them.

so.....

I guess I am going to bring some of my duplicates inside and use my garage for storage for the rest. Can someone point to a thread that deals with cold storage of some of these things? From what i gather people just wash off colocasia, alocasia, tetrapanax, canna and then wrap them in newspaper and keep them in a dark Tupperware bin that stays under 60Deg f.? Do you guys use fungicides or anything?

Thanks again!
Ry
