keep it in a cool (or even cold) place, and make sure it doesn't totally dry out. You also don't want it to get waterlogged. Just a nice airy dampness in the potting soil.

Before potting, make sure there are no moldy or rotted parts on the root. If there are any, cut them off cleanly with a very sharp knife.

Maybe we have some peony experts here who could weigh in.
