The tops are mostly dried out but still semi-green. I submerged the pots overnight and cut off stalks that were "dwindling." Should I chop everything off like your picture above? Will the semi-green/soft fronds come back?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Scottdsg0110https://www.blogger.com/profile/15275373167869741340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-91003587965380077742018-06-27T17:49:55.412-05:002018-06-27T17:49:55.412-05:00When do I set the overwintered starts back in the ...When do I set the overwintered starts back in the garden (zone 7)?Sherrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-9689634386627871002017-11-01T17:02:35.903-05:002017-11-01T17:02:35.903-05:00Unknown: The best method I've found over the s...Unknown: The best method I've found over the six years since I've written this original post is to put them in a bucket of water in the garage over winter. It's key not to let them dry out. They don't seem to need much light, and they are around 40ºF all winter.
