So, who among us has reached that level to be able to claim to be an
expert?
Last year I stored my konjacs in paper bags, and '99 A-101(stipitatus?) and
A-102 (sp. 1?) in dry pots in the basement (anyone know their proper
i.d.'s?). None came up before late May (here in New Jersey) but are larger,
growing in the ground still not blooming size (now 2 main A-101 stems
3'tall!)
Question, besides the konjacs, this winter can I leave them in ground? What
about A. albus ('00 A-103)?

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
