OK thx. Any other people think differently or the same but hav more info? Also, should I use a fungicide?
I agree with Jim--garages are typically better because of better air circulation among other things. I use a refrigerator because that's my only choice.
OK. Thats good. Ill keep them in my garage and I dont have a window I could put them in, is this ok? I think they'll be in a deep enough dormancy but Im not sure...
Generally, they prefer getting lower temps ALONG with reduced photoperiod. Have they been in front of a window for the past few months? If so, they've already experienced a gradual decline in daylength and it should be ok to put them in the garage.
Yes, it's ok just as long as they're in a deep dormancy. Only then will they not require so much light. I place my plants outside where they'd usually go dormant, but right now we've been getting pretty warm temperatures during the day and cool-ish temperatures during the night. They should be going into dormancy pretty soon though.
Well.... they've been outside so they hav expereicened a decline of daylite. Im going to put them in the garage at about Thanksgiving. They've experienced their first frost last nite so I think they'll b ready for dormancy in the garage by then.
