I think they don't need to be potted right now. Don't bake them in the sun, but it's safe to leave them in a cool dry place and pot them up in late September or so, when you can start watering them. If you do pot them up now, make sure the soil is completely dry, otherwise the corms could suffer from mildew. Once they start growing they'll need a lot of light and good variation between daytime and night-time temps (when I grow them here they go from the 40s F or lower at night to the 60s F or higher during the day). They'll tolerate light frost overnight but not a prolonged freeze. Have fun with them! Mike San Jose, CA
