Do NOT store rhizomes in the fridge. While it is cool, it is also humid an=

Hi all...I just received a box of rhizomes intended for our area sale on
August 10. That's more than two weeks away. Generally their condition
is pretty good, but some already have brown foliage. Since I want to
help them stay as fresh and saleable as possible, how do you all
recommend that I store them? If I put them in the crisper in the
fridge, do you think they would go bad?
