Once they have dried, you can pull off the remaining stems %26amp; roots. Knock off any soil still on the tubers. Do NOT get them wet. Store your tubers in a perforated plastic bag, sack or box filled with peat moss or vermiculite in a cool, dark place untill next spring. The ideal storage temperature is 40°F to 50°F.
