Look over the rhizomes and discard any that show signs of rot (softness) or disease. Fill the box with fine wood chips or slightly damp (not wet!) peat moss or newspaper, and place the rhizomes into this, deep enough that they are almost covered. Store the box in a cool (50°F-ish), dark place—garage or basement—and do not seal the box. Check on them once or twice, looking again for rot or disease, and restore moisture to the fill by misting, if necessary. Replant in spring. Advice for doing this is above and below.
