I have dug, cleaned and divided my large dahlia clumps into smaller ones with about 3-4 tubers per stem. As I learned on this forum, I let them sit for about 5-10min in a bleach solution and lay them out on newspaper in our unheated basement. Unfortunately, I didn't get to finish my project, so they lay there for a few weeks. Some of them are now quite shriveled but others are still plump and healthy. I cut out the really shriveled ones and am hoping to salvage some of the others.
Yesterday I dusted sulpher on them and would like to try the saran wrap method for storing. Can I use saran wrap for small clumps like these or must they be individual tubers?
Is there a better solution for storing them when they're not single tubers?
Thanks.
