Dear Paul,
If they were mine, I`d wait for
the leaf to turn yellow and begin to 'go down', stop watering at this point
and dry the pots out completely for a couple of weeks, dig the tubers up and
store them in the fridge veggie drawer till next spring, but wait to hear from
some experts before you do this!
Cheers,
Julius
>>Well as we all have, i
bought some A. konjacs on impulse because they were cheap. They all came up
fine and have been growing great for a few months. Now the problem. I live in
Miami and have learned they won't grow here, due to needing a cold dormancy
period. So first if they can be grown down here please tell me, otherwise, i
was wondering if a nice refrigeration when they go dormant would work. any
thoughts?
Thanks,
Paul Marcellini
