In the Fall, how do you store gladiolus bulbs? Is the basement OK?
mandm asked:
I want to hear from people that do this and know what to do to have them be ready for spring planting.
I live in Nebraska where the winters get very cold. Is it still ok to leave them in the ground? Or do I have to dig them up and store them? I do not have a cellar, just a basement.

In the Southern Region -Texas we do not pull any of our bulbs. They are fine year round. You can store them in a cool dark place away from any dampness and they will be fine. Let them dry/air out first.

Keep them in the cellar. Think dark, cool, and dry. I have a small side room in my basement that is perfect. I keep my bulbs in a wood bucket and cover that with a sack.

i keep mine in the shed in a paper bag
plastic bags promote rot
you can leave them in the ground for ever unless you want to split them
