I wrap dahlia tubers in newspaper and put them in a box in the garage - I make sure that the dahlia stems are pointing downwards so that they drain and rot doesn't set in.

I brush begonia tubers lightly, dry them at home for 2 weeks and keep them in open tray over the winter in my boiler room. There is dry and cool all the time (around +7C).
Also I keep my dahlias there. First lift them, leaving 2-3 inches of stems, carefully wash them, dry them at home for few days. Then using the screw driver, make a small holes in stems (I know it sounds crazy, but my grandparents and parents always did that, taught me that way. I suppose this is important for ventilation or something like that) and put them in plastic bucket with wood-shavings (easy to buy in pet shops). Cover the bucket with lid.

I keep my gladioli corms in wood-shavings too.
That's great thanks for the advice
