Anyone store a Sikkmensis corms?

Have no idea what to do with my 10 or so plants. I could bring them inside, but the wife will not be happy. Would rather just store the corms in the basement, next to the basjoos.

That would work fine as they should behave the same way as your Basjoo

Hi Frank

storing them pretty dry in well drained compost mix with perlite works just fine, they'll come back in mid/late march

You can actually store them like a CANNA BULB? How large do the corms have to be?

are they potted? I have 3 stands of them that I treat like basjoos (planted). They come back every spring.
