Default Re: I'm not really looking forward to digging this one up

If this is an Orinoco: For a plant that size I wouldn't bother digging it up. It's clearly well established, and about to bloom. If you dig it up it will utilize all the energy just to survive til next spring, and if it's about to bloom it will probably abort next spring and produce dozens of pups instead.

If I were you I would leave it in the ground, try the cage method, and utilize alot of hay or other dry insulation material. Then leave it til April 15, and see what happens.
