Care of Nerine bulbs and Gladioli

I have been given some Nerine bulbs from congested clumps. Most I have planted (with their tops showing) in a trough type window box planter, with lots of gravel/grit. I’m trying to shelter it from the seemingly constant rain we are having at present.
I have an additional 3 still in a paper bag.
The clumps they came from had masses of flowers and the bulbs were all on the surface of the border.
Should I plant the remaining bulbs? I am having changes made to my garden so don’t want to put them in the borders at the moment.

I also have some Gladioli bulbs which I have dried out. I don’t have space 
in the bottom of my fridge (advised?) but I could put them in the attic - which is quite cold. Would this be more suitable than the shed, which would be more on the damp side?
I live on the Isle of Wight.
