Fermentation Specalist
I scored a couple rhizomes from a friend that are vacuum sealed with a wet paper towel in them. I live in Northern Va so we get cold but we're often above the freezing mark. I have read it's recommended to get them in the ground asap but I've also read they store well in the fridge as long as they're vacuum sealed with a towel. I probably can't plant them in the ground for another few weeks and I've been storing them for a week already.
Should I plant them outside and put mulch or a pot over them to keep them from the cold? Should I plant them in a pot and keep it in a sunny window? Or can they be stored for a few more weeks in the fridge until I can plant them outside and not have to worry about them freezing?
I have 5 other 4 year plants that I started in pots and seemed to do OK outside but I planted them after last frost.
