Default Re: Wintering E. Maurellii in HZ8,-7 or 6?

The temperatures were almost always at around 47-52F and I just had them sitting on top of the wood with nothing on them. I know it might get on the humid side there with no light.

The rot seemed to occur towards the base of the plant with no regard to where it was touching. In any case I now have them in paper bags with the sulfur fungicide applied heavily. I will check again in another week to see how they are looking.
