So new dahlia grower here. In zone 5b Minnesota.
I was learning about the saran wrap method and putting the Dahlia tubers into a wine fridge to maintain the temperature, but I got some nice tubers before I got the wine fridge. 🙈
They came in some wood shavings and one of them looks like it sprouted.
Should I wrap them up in saran wrap and put them in a cardboard box in a dark spot in the basement?
What should I do with the one that's already starting to sprout?

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

I switch mine to vermiculite and wait until it’s time to start in my zone. I start mine early b/c I’m in zone 5a.
