Re: Bananas stored dormant in basement dried out
Actually, Olaf, this room has successfully wintered bare root bananas,potted bananas, bare root plumeria in dormancy, potted plumeria, ee's., canna corms, etc. I have never had a plant rot in here; if it were cooler dormancy would just be easier to provoke.The only hassle is that my tender pond plants tub needs refills pretty often due to evaporation. There is some cold air entering around the door just to the left of the back wall in the pic, which probably lowers the temps in that half of the room somewhat.

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
