I have read that I need to cut back the leaves and remove the soil from the roots. I just don't know what to do next. I have a garage or an attic that I can place them in. I just want to know if I need to put them in a container or wrap them in plastic. Also, do they need sunlight or water while they are dormant?

Thank You!
