I recently changed the medium of my Regal shields to a Leca/Moss set up. I plucked about 30 - 45 huge corms and there's no way I can pot all these. Realistically, how long can I store these corms? Do they have a shelf life? Can I keep them in this container or will they die? Is that even a thing? What's the best way to store corms without planting them?
Ohh my goodness i don’t have any advice but holly cow!!!!

had they already fallen off or did you pluck them? if you plucked them, they're not going to store well because they're not fully mature. only mature corms are going to store well long term, similar to the rhizome of an active plant during dormancy. immature ones will get mad at you and rot lol. if they're all immature your only option is sprouting all of them or tossing them out/giving them away. look into local 'buy nothing' groups or 'buy, sell, trade' groups on facebook. even if nobody there wants them, they usually have good ideas of what business nearby might be interested.
