Rhizomes


Question
Is it possible to store sarracinia rhizomes? If yes how do you store them

Answer
Hi Eric,

You can store them for up to two months under refrigeration.  They should be treated with a fungicide with sulfur fungicide being very useful in this application.  Be sure they are wrapped with a damp paper towel, and in a plastic bag.  It's good to check them about once a week to make sure you don't have any mold problems developing.

I've stored rhizomes even longer than this, but they do start to degrade slowly the longer they are stored.

Good Growing!
