My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Canna Newbie, help?

19 years ago

I purchase my first Canna this summer, there were two plants in the pot, I separated them and planted them. They looked kind of wilty all summer, but survived.

Now, after reading this forum, I shouldn't have separated them till fall, then on top of that, I just dug them up, pulled off the stems, separated all the bulbs and rinsed them off.

So NOW I get the great idea to look for help, and realize I shouldn't have pulled the stalks off, and it looks like I shouldn't have separated the big white bulbs either.

Did I just kill them altogether? Should I even try and store them over the winter?

I appreciate any input.
