Hi, I'm in zone 10A-10B and bought a potted Hyacinth. I already cut back the bloom and am waiting for the leaves to turn yellow/brown and then I will cut it down to the soil. It came in a small plastic pot and I want to re-pot it into a clay pot. After reading comments and replies, my questions are these: Should I re-pot it in the clay pot, then store the bulb while potted in the refrigerator for 4 months? Or should I remove the bulb, place in a paper bag and store in the refrigerator for 4 months and then re-pot after the 4 months? And while it's in the refrigerator does it need any watering? Thanks in advance!
