| I rinsed & dried last season's tubers, then placed them in a large styrofoam cooler, uncovered, buried in pete moss... I placed the container in my basement, and now, they have sprouted and are really getting big. The color is light and the leaves are small... but they're two feet tall! What do I do? |

| Put them in moist sterile soil, up to their first set of leaves. They will love it! Congrats on already big dahlias! Keriann~ |

| You can take off the first 1-3 sets of leaves & plant them deep like you would tomato plants if you want. The added bonus is that you will get more tubers where the leaf-nodes were! |

| Hi there, The same thing happened to me! Is it because the basement is just too warm? Our Canna Lilies have always done fine there... Anyways, so it is still too cold here to put them out. Should I plant in pots temporarily until they can be placed in the ground? Or once I put them in pots should I just leave them be? Thanks! |
