Harvesting tubers

[Kristl Walek]

Help Please: I am getting ready to harvest the tubers of:

sikokianum (never enough!!!!!)
speciosum
amurense
consanguineum
Jacquemontii
ringens
taiwanensis
urashima

Craig has taken me through his preferred method (just barely moist
peat inside plastic bags). Into the fridge for ???  6 months???  Then
repot? and wait....

Will vermiculite do just as well? Any other hints or suggestions would
be appreciated. I imagine many of us are at this stage with seed sown
last Fall/Winter, but who have never harvested indoors before.

My own experience with keeping pots outdoors the first season has been
unpredictable, usually dismal  (rotted tubers), so I am anxious to see
if I can change my spotty history. Experienced folks please reply.
