As to where you store it, that is up to you. You could put them in the basement or in the crisper if you have room. They just need to be kept cool and dark so they stay dormant.AmaryllisBulbshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15616775666429122866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363879129810231903.post-35715009952484671952008-10-16T12:31:00.000-05:002008-10-16T12:31:00.000-05:00I live in Minnesota and just dug up my Amaryllis bulb before the first frost. I shook the dirt off the roots and cut the leaves back to the neck of the bulb. Now do I trim the roots before I store it? Should I store it in the crisper drawer or just in the basement? What should I pack it in to store it?

Although I&#39;ve kept them dormant for much longer. Last year I didn&#39;t start to break dormancy until late February &amp; March so I could have blooms for the spring. <BR/><BR/>Some of them remained dormant and some had started to bloom on their own when the temperatures in the attic started to climb as spring approached.AmaryllisBulbshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15616775666429122866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363879129810231903.post-17037407270776793532008-10-07T10:42:00.000-05:002008-10-07T10:42:00.000-05:00How long should they remain dormant before re-planting?
