They'd need big pots.  I think the normal thing is to lay them out on a tray of compost somewhere cool, and mist them down every few days to stop them drying out.

Just enough to keep them moist but be careful not to get them too wet or they will rot. Better on the dry side. If they are dry when you come to plant them put them in a bucket of water for an hour.

I got mine last year, sept/oct/nov ish and I stuck all 30 of them in separate pots in compost. They have only had 2 drinks of water since then and I had a look at one by having a peek under the compost and all looks good still.... fingers crossed they will be fine.. Oh they are in the greenhouse
