During this period they should not be watered but you must ensure that they do not dry out (spray with a little water from time to time) and monitor for mould.

It is generally not necessary to dig up Jerusalem artichokes. In pretty cold climate the areas can be covered with leaves or mulch. The Jerusalem artichoke rhizomes dry out very quickly, so they should be planted as soon as they are received.
