Where should I store unused Gnarly Roots? At what temperature?

How should I store the mycorrhizal fungi? According to http://bio-organics.com/faq-mycorrhiza-overview/ Products should be stored at normal room temperature away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration, while not necessary, will prolong the life of the product. Hope this is helpful. :)

I think about room temperature should be fine. These are fungal spores so I imagine they are incredibly resilient to temperature changes.

I live in middle TN & our weather is similar. Put in a large pot , leave it on a porch out of direct light in the summer, and bring it in when the temp starts getting cold (about 45F). It should be okay. I had surgery & wasn't able to bring mine in this winter & it died-my fault. I will get another one in the spring. Also, they are not very big plants. Be sure to google search for the right amount of different soil: high grade potting soil, mulch & I think at least one other. You can buy these at any place that specializes with plants. Just mix them up & plant- DO NOT OVER WATER. Good Luck!

I regrew them 2 years latter. I stored them sealed in the freezer until regrowing. david

A dry cool place away from heat. Do not put in the fridge. The shelf life is around a year. I put mine where I keep my shortening and such. :)

Its however you like your root bear. If you are of with drinking it at room temp, you can store it at room temp. if you want it cold, put it in the fridge

They should keep 2-3 weeks if you leave them packaged and store in a cool place. Soak the roots in room temperature water 30 - 45 minutes before planting.

I have stored them just like how they come and have had no problems. If they do dry out a bit you can rehydrate them with a little soak. I stored mine in the cupboard. Happy gardening!

Pot it and keep it inside until there is no chance of frost. After it has a good root system, it should survive winters just fine.

I would wrap roots in paper towl and put the roots in the water. I waited about a week.before planting mine they are doing good in the house. I live in Michigan and the plants were blooming I didn't want them outout side because they would go dormant.

I had a similar experience. Since you put them in the refrigerator to keep them in their dormant stage, the best thing you can do is to plant them as soon as you can get a shovel into the ground. Plant them initially below the freeze line 8 inches down in composted soil. In late February early March, remove 4 inches of the soil in order to make sure they do not have to hard to put up in the spring. When you see them coming out of the ground in late in April,fill the trench in slowly with loose compost. When you see the sprigs come up and provide plenty of compost, you will feel excited and even more motivated to care for them. Good luck. Mr. P I had a similar experience.

It probably wouldn't hurt. I have never stored my seeds in a vacuum sealed container and I have used seeds up to five years old though there appears to be some decline in germination percentage the older the seeds are. Good luck

I had mine in the original 2" pot for 2 months before I transplanted them into 4" pots. Some had lots of healthy roots and some had very little roots.

Indefinitely as long as you store them in a safe place. You should keep them some place where they will not be exposetto temps above 80 degrees.

Hi Miriam, Great question Thank You for asking. We recommend that if not immediately used after 24 hours to take your fresh herbs out of the mesh bag and store them properly. The best way to store these after the market, (particularly parsley, cilantro, oregano, sage, marjoram, basil, rosemary, tarragon, mint, and chives) is to store them upright in a little cup of water. This idea also works for asparagus just don't forget to snip off a little bit of the bottom. Hope this helps =)

No storage. Has weathered the first summer well, gets full sun 6-8hrs/day. Now, this winter I have been placing the table over my pansy pot for protection, when the weather gets real bad. So far, they are still blooming!

I'm in Western Massachusetts over in the Berkshires (zone 5b). I have two Hardy Chicago growing in containers that are in their second season. One is in a 15 gallon plastic pot, and the other is in a 14 inch plastic pot. I kept them in a cold part of my basement last winter (lots of folks use garages and sheds so long as they don't get much below freezing) and watered them every few weeks when they got dry. That's probably the most common method in the north. They were about 3 ft tall by the end of last summer, and I brought them in as soon as they lost their leaves in early November. They've leafed out great now and are growing again. I've heard of people growing them outside in our climate, and will probably try that with a cutting from one of mine. There are many ways to handle the winter. Some folks get large bags of mulch to set around the tree and cover with plastic buckets over the mulched tree. Some wrap the tree with insulation and mulch well at the base. Some will bend the tree over and cover it with mulches or even bury the bent tree under soil for the winter. Logee's Greenhouse from Connecticut has a video of how to wrap a fig tree on Youtube, if that helps. There is the chance of losing an in-ground tree to the cold, but so long as the roots survive these fig trees can grow back from them. Also, people often take cuttings once the trees go dormant. They can be kept in the vegetable crisper over the winter and rooted in the spring if something goes terribly wrong with the outdoor tree. So there are lots of ways to do it depending on what kind of tree you want (container or in-ground tree) and how much (or how little) effort you want to put into the project. You can get tons of info on figs4fun forum and on youtube.
