They need to dry out thoroughly,Anita..and stored somewhere frost free over winter..then you can pot them up again in March/April..leaving the top ( where there is a hollow) uncovered..They will need some warmth,or a heated propogator to start them off again..

Where is the best place to dry them? I put them in a shed last year but they rotted.

I did that with my first ones,Anita,and the same happened to mine..I think the atmosphere was a bit damp in there..I kept the 2nd lot on a shelf in a cupboard..in paper bags..and just kept a check on them..replacing the bags occasionally..they were fine.I am sure you will get some other successful methods from other members,but this worked for me..good luck..

I just put them in an empty seed tray in a shed. Check them from time to time to remove the dropped-off stems and leaves and to make sure nothing's eating them.

Ok thanks for the advice.
