Winterizing and Storing

staceybeth
15 years ago

HI All,

Well its getting colder here in Eastern Mass. I have 2 Banana's and 4 Elephant ears, all in pots, to store and have no idea when to do it. I was told that I need to wait until the foliage has died first before cutting down, however that may be in November seeing that they are all still growing quite rapidly. Can anyone give me any insight?
