Roots of cannas, elephant ears for storage...

| Hi,
All the information on here about storing my tropicals has been great!
I dug them up today and wasn't prepared for how huge the root system would be.
Do I cut the roots at all? Just a bit? Or down to the bulb part? This is for cannas and elephant ears.
Thank you for any information on that! Also, do I cut the stem clear down to the root?
THANK YOU! :-) |

| It doesn't matter much so I do the least amount of work. I wrap in several layers of newspaper, put in a sealed plastic garbage bag along with crumpled newspaper to absorb excess moisture, and store in a cool part of my basement. |

| Thank you. I was worried if I didn't cut them down just right they wouldn't grow. :-) |
