If you think you can plant within 2 or 3 days or so, then it probably would be OK to wrap the crowns in a moist (but not soggy) newspaper or paper towel and place in a cool, dark place; check every so often to keep things slightly moist. It might be best not to use a plastic bag, so that air can circulate. Alternatively, some gardeners place crowns in a bucket of moist sand in a cool, dark area, such as a basement. You don’t want to keep the crowns soaking in water too long, or it may invite disease. They like to be slightly moist, but not waterlogged, and not totally dry either. Hope this helps!
