Re: Re: dracunculus vulgaris

From: mburack at mindspring.com on 2001.03.01 at 17:02:17(6010) Dear Jim, I have found that "tuberous" plants dont need to be in an airtight bag...as a matter of fact, I am pretty sure it would get a fairly good amount of rot going... When I have refrigerated tubers for an extended period, all I have done is basically wrapped the tuber loosely in some paper towel, put it in a brown paper bag, sort of folded the top over, and tossed it in one of the draws in the frig. As you know, refrigerators tend to be fairly humid so I am sure it prevents them from drying out. I have even done this with "tiny" tubers and they have not dried out... Hope this helps.. +More aroid-l@mobot.org wrote: > should the bulb be put in an air tight bag to prevent it from dehydrating in > the frig. > Jim Reed flyglasair@aol.com
