why and for how long?

You can slow down the growth of them in the cold but they still need the right light and will not hold back that long.

There are other threads, but I'm really un-inspired.

do not store at room temps. Put in the refrigerator. Yes, you can store for 1 or 2 months. PUt the clones in a ziploc bag, spray in moisture and blow some co2 (from your breath) into the bag seal. When I first started cloning I actually stored some clones in the frig this way. They were ok for a couple of months. Then they started to get slimy and I threw them out. Someone on overgrow kept them for months. He stood the clones up and put water in the bottom. Make sure you put a plastic bag over the whole thing so the clones don't dry out. I hope someone else remembers this post and can back me up.

Basically, what Gen said.

And Zandor, you're mistaken. I was skeptical too until I tried it. I've had cuttings survive in the fridge for 8 weeks, without changing water, blowing in co2, or doing anything else. I suppose you may get them to survive longer if you really took care of them.

After 8 weeks they were getting a little slimey, and only about 45% survived through rooting. Do not keep them an area of the fridge that partially freezes things, if yours is that cold. I kept mine in little tupperware containers with the cuttings submerged in PH adjusted tap water.

You want them as cold as possible without freezing. This will slow down their metabolism and almost put them into hybernation.
