We have a pretty large amount of Coco Golds and I would love to have some garlands for fall. After stringing them and letting them dry in our garage, some started to mold in a couple of spots. Before giving it another go, is there anything I'm doing incorrectly for them to dry and not mold? Should I place them in a drier spot of the house? Any help is appreciated!
