| 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. :-) |
