If the outside temperature is above freezing, you may ventilate your warehouse or basement. Do not forget to check stored fruits and vegetables including dahlia and gladiolus tubers for example. Move containers or flowerpots with bulbs (crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths) to a room where the temperature is around 20 °C. This temperature is good for these plants.
