Question
I read your answer on how to winter over alstromeria  in northern climates....  Mine are in containers and I do have a cold area in which to store them...   The area I have in mind is under a bench seat in our mud room.. It stays cold but does not freeze..  

Should I water them before and/or during storage?
Is the totally dark area OK?

Cheers,

Gail

Answer
Hi Gail,
Thanx for your question.  As long as the area does not freeze your alstroemerias should winter over.  I would water enough to keep the soil from completely drying out.  Make sure the pot drains well so you don't get cold rot.  I hope this helps.
