I wanted Kelsie Annie Joy but it wasn't available so I ordered Sylvia instead. Can't wait to see what it looks like. Bonny

I bet you’ll love it

Hi Christina, I bought a package of Root Riot. I know I will not use most of the package this year. Can you tell me the best way to store these so they don’t get moldy? Thanks.

[@SunshineFlora]

I just stored mine at room temp and they were fine!

[@kelleyspiller5330]

Excited to try the Root Riot this year. How often do you water your potted up tubers? I have had a couple rot in the process. Thanks!

[@SunshineFlora]

Every other day

[@taylorwieder668]

How far in advance do I need to start this project? I don’t receive my tubers until April and I’m wondering if that will be too late

[@SunshineFlora]

You would start your tubers right when you get them and if the growth gets big enough, go ahead and take cuttings. Or just start them early to get a head start and plant them in the ground with growth - then you’ll have blooms earlier!

[@karengemmill6205]

Does a new shoot grow from the exact spot where you took the cutting from?

[@SunshineFlora]

Yes it will continue to grow back

[@leonardsfriend5821]

What are the root riots made from? What happens to it as the plant grows…does it remain or dissolve after awhile?

[@SunshineFlora]

Sphagnum peat moss. I pot them up into soil so it just mixes in with that as it grows and probably falls apart
