Re: Outside Basjoo - when did your corms start growing this year?
I'm sorry to hear that! So much for a cold hardy plant, right?
Last year, I did get some basjoos to sprout from a partially dead corm but they were very slow to grow. They only got to 2' by the end of summer. Perhaps starting from new pups would be wise....
This fall I will try to minimize the amount of time the plants are dormant and also not put them into my unheated basement until the basement temperature starts to drop below 60F. I may even try to keep one outside in a styrofoam structure like OlafHenry made.
