Russell,
I have just taken my VFT's out of the fridge in the last two weeks.
They were in storage for 6.5 months (I'm reversing their growing
schedule to avoid our desert heat) and came through it just fine. I
let them dry out to the point that they were just barely moist, and
then placed them in poly bags which then went into the crisper drawer
of the fridge. I made sure that a little of the just moist growing
medium was still wrapped around each bulb. I hope this helps.
