Help!! I just acquired 2 giant crinums, 6 to 7' tall. They are bare rooted. I live in Louisiana, very hot and humid,how do I handle them. Do I cut leaves, can they be put in pots? Is the garden better? Help, ASAP Jane

IMO it is best to put them in the ground. They make great container plants but there is no reason to have them in containers in your zone. I always cut the foliage when I move mine. Some people don't. I do it to reduce stress during restablishment. The less foliage, the less demand for moisture. Care to trade one for a Elizabeth Traub.
