Stored Orchid Gladioli Germinating

Question

Hi! I have checked on my stored orchid gladioli and most of them have germs, I did not plant them last year because we had to be away for 3 months, they were stored in vermiculite and look good still. Do I cut the germs and store them till Spring, I am in zone 4a in the middle of Winter.

I look you up all the time for advice on seed sowing, etc.

Thank you very much!

You'll need to refrigerate your bulbs to put them back into dormancy until planting time. Here's a helpful article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/bgen/how-to-store-bulbs-that-have-sprouted.htm
