moving dormant plants outdoors

From: Ken Mosher <ken at spatulacity.com> on 2007.05.13 at 23:51:28(15677) Ron, It's been my experience up here in CT that if I water the tubers before they're ready to break dormancy that I'm risking rot - and a high risk, too. I would not recommend doing the move and I wouldn't recommend trying to keep them moist unless you have one of the few species that won't tolerate dryness at all. When I try to keep "slightly moist" I generally lose the tubers. Most of them don't require the "slightly moist" when they're in soil during dormancy. +More -Ken Ron wrote: On another topic, now that it is Summer here in South Florida, my wife would like to get all of my dormant Amorphophallus pots out of the garage. Would I loose them if I put the pots out where they get rained on? Should I keep them moist in the garage?
