However, they can and will break dormancy with no light in the winter. I kept mine in shoeboxes under my bed the last few years with no issues. They don’t fit in the shoe boxes now, so I’m keeping them in a closed up semi-see through Tupperware bin on the floor of my greenhouse this year. It will be extremely shaded but he said that would work fine.

Edit: while it’s in spike, I would still give it some light though
Nice! Thank You. Yea mine lost it's spike Not sure why but fingerscrossed it will be better next year.
