As my cool greenhouse is getting jam-packed, when it was time to bring the potted crinum in their very large pots indoors I decided to try wintering them in the basement. They were looking quite shabby so I cut them back, hauled them in, and ignored them. No light, no water. Today I'm trying to tidy the garage because some insurance-paid repairs to sheet rock will happen next week. Took a tray of peat moss packed canna tubers into the basement. Oh-oh, the crinum are growing seriously tall and - naturally enough - very pale. What now? Do I have to bring them upstairs and wedge into the greenhouse for the winter? Back to garage cleanup.
