Storing orchid bulbs

[Bulbopedilum]

I have a Nervilia bulb I want to save for later but how do I do so? Should I put it in the fridge or just in a cabinet?

That is not a commonly-grown genus, but from what I've read, mostly dry and room temperature is appropriate for the off-season.

SO I guess I'll be storing it in a cabinet. Thanks!

EDIT: Drawer, not cabinet.

I'd add to occasionally check on them for desiccation. Lightly water when you start seeing shrinkage. They will most likely not shrivel, they'll just look smaller and smaller until they die.

Bulb shrinkage is incredibly difficult to catch very early because there is no visible sign of shriveling. By the time you notice, you will think you're just "seeing things". When you realize your observations are spot on, it can be quite difficult to revive them. If you try, you could run into potential problems of rotting them out from overwatering.
