Re: Colocasia/Alocasia
Slight thread derail here:
I have wintered my colocasia/alocasia plants by protection in the ground (unsuccessful), and potting them up and bringing inside (mostly successful, although I lost a Nancy's Rrevenge and a Black Magic this past season). This fall I will not be potting them; I want to store the corm for the winter. I don't have a 'cold' room, even my basement is warm with the furnace heat. What recommendations for storage are there..bare, in a bag of peat, etc.? I will also be doing the bare root thing for all my non-hardy bananas except the DC will stay potted. Thanks for everyone's help.
