How can I properly store iris bulbs to ensure they remain healthy and viable for planting in the future?

To properly store iris bulbs for future planting, you should keep them in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. Store the bulbs in a paper bag or mesh bag to prevent moisture buildup. Check the bulbs regularly for any signs of rot or mold, and discard any that appear damaged. It's also important to label the bulbs with the variety and date of storage for easy identification when planting.
