how do you store for winter

well im not alone 30 people have viewed this ,and no one knows how to store for winter ?????

I don't dig mine up. I have been growing calla's for over ten years now and I have never lost any. I did plant them a little deeper than what was called for but the babies that grow from the seed pods are not that deep so I would suggest that you just leave them in the ground.

As far as storing the bulbs over the winter. Just keep them in a cool dry place. I dig up clumps all of the time to divide. Right now I have a 2 gallon pot of bulbs that has just been sitting around on my back porch for the past month while the greenery died off. If I don't get them replanted I will just stick the pot in the garage for the winter. I don't do anything special to them at all.

THank you ,thank you ,i had lost them twice here in tulsa area and did not have a clue as if it was winter related or brown thumb.

Taz, in my old garden (6b) I lifted them one year and stored them in the basement. Apparently I missed a few and the next spring those were better than the ones I dug and replanted. Plant them deeper, though.

Taz, I'm pooped from painting and getting my new place ready for move-in. What's a pocket book, LOL?

Here's what I do with
my calla lilly's &
begonias, I plant
them in pots that I
buy at the dollar
stores & they are
good ones for $1.00
each. In the fall
I take all of the
pots in & leave the
bulbs in the pots.
Then when planting
time comes I split
the bulbs up.

Leaving the bulbs in
the pots over winter
keeps them from
drying out.
