Refrigerator storage

14 years ago

Just to make sure things are consistent I'd like to store my tubers in the refrigerator this winter. Are there any special instructions/tips anyone can give me? For example, should I seal in ziplocs, use vermiculite, etc.?

Also , why wait a couple weeks after a frost to dig tubers? Do they eye up in that time frame?

Thanks all.

I store all of mine in a refrigerator. I have a fridge in the basement that is only for dahlias and I love it. I put them in ziplock bags with holes punched in them and cover the tubers with vermiculite. Then I just fill the fridge, one layer on each shelf. Every once in a while a little mold shows up but I don't lose many. I like it because they don't start growing until I am ready for them to.
