Yes, sorry I'm in San Diego. The summer should be very hot down here and I
am also worried about rotting. I think it's probably too late for them to
germinate new leaves this year.  My first inclination is to keep them cool
and dry, and put them in the refrigerator when the temperature is get super
hot.

Thanks!
