I would guess your "potted" tubers were still in their pots, whereas the tubers in boxes are in cardboard? Doubt it's mildew either, some other bacterial or fungal growth that will grow on damp material in an enclosed environment. When I store tubers I bury them up to the crowns with dry peat, only after they are dry. Always store in an open, cool room. Never in a small enclosed space. |
