DORMANT TEMPERATURES

I’m finally attempting to better address winter dormant bulb requirements and am uncertain what is meant by “warm and dry” and “cool and dry” in this situation.

  I live in the San Francisco Bay Area so “dry” in our winter means indoors or somewhere outdoors but covered.  That latter is limited to a very small covered plant stand.  Indoors is pretty much limited to the garage, basement, attached potting shed or the unheated laundry room off the garage.    Alas, we have no warming cupboard here

 For the first time I’ve used a thermometer and find that all my usual winter storage spots measure close to 50 degrees F.  Is that warm or is it cool?

Can anyone suggest what temperature range would cover both “cool” and “warm,” particularly for South African species, and how you go about achieving that end?

Many thanks,
Sylvia Sykora
