Re: Conditions for dormancy
Hi Richard. Plants can survive more than one year without a dormancy so I would suggest trying outside this year with the cooler conditions. Dry the pots out and this will help ensure the plants become dormant.
If you decide to go with the fridge I don't think you need to worry about washing the roots. I would just shake off loose soil and then surround what is left with sphagnum moss as a protective layer to prevent frost burn. Cheers.
