Habenaria storage

[littlefrog]

Normally I just let my habenaria go dormant and keep them in the pots... But this year I need space so I was planning on just storing them as tubers.

Anybody do this? I was wondering what best practice was. Refrigerator? Just room temp in the dark?

I'd just keep them in pots. They don't need to be in a growing area. Any closet/basement/etc. should be just fine.

I used to let them dry out then put them in plastic bags, until they started up next season. Since Im growing them again, this year I'm going to just leave them open and move them somewhere we watercress.
