Iam very new to growing tropical plants in my garden. I've just started this season with an adopted musa basjoo which has 4 or 5 pups and has grown around 6 feet. I live in North west NJ and lost my chance to take it to the greenhouse... Can u please advise me on keeping it dormant for the winter? I have a basement and a garage.... which is the better place to store? I also read another thread which spoke abt removing leaves, digging the corm out and keeping them in a crawl space... Will the same procedure work for my musa basjoo and will my basement /garage work instead of a crawl space???
Iam going on a long vacation and so leaving it outside and mulching before the first frost is out of question. HELLLLLP!!!!!!!
I just bought two PJM rhododendron plants which were on sale at walmart and I still have them inside my house... I was wondering if its too late to plant them outside..
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks
