Step 1
Clean the bulbs by gently brushing off excess dirt. Refrain from washing the plant bulbs, as the extra moisture could cause them to rot while in storage.
-
Step 2
Layer the bulbs in a cardboard box with an open top. Newspaper, packing peanuts, or peat moss can be used as a liner between the layers of bulbs. Ventilation is crucial. Do not store bulbs in a sealed container or plastic bag. Make sure that the bulbs are not touching one another.
-
Step 3
Place the box in a cool, dry place in your house. Be sure that they are away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Bulbs should never be stored in freezing temperatures.
-
Step 4
Periodically check on the bulbs. Every few weeks, go through the box and throw out any bulbs that have become soft and mushy.
