hi! im afraid to put my rajapuri in the ground because im afraid when i have to dig it up for the winter ill accidentall dig it up wrong and chop some of the roots or i might hit the corm. i don't want top take any chances! i was wondering is it ok to keep it in a pot all year as long as i take it outside when its warm? if i can do i need to aply more fertilizer or something like that? what size should the pot be for a full sized rajapuri? thanks in advance!

The largest size you can find if it will stay in one place. If you plan on moving it, keep the pot size in mind unless you have a forklift. As far as your fear of hitting the corm not to worry. Just start digging around the perimeter of the plant about two feet from the pseudostem and loosen the soil carefully with a long crowbar until you see the corm.

it doesnt matter that much if you cut some roots away.
I think that if you dig them up carefully you dont chop through the corm.
