I've wrapped it in some wet filter floss and stuck it in the fridge I wonder how long it should be left there? A month...2 months?....3 months?

You beat me to it, I'm not going to mess with mine until next water change day!

Here's something I found on another site:
When any of your bulbs begins to go dormant, place it in wet sand in a container(not completely airtight) in the refridgerator for 3-4 months. After this, clean off the bulb(s), place in a wet paper towel and then loosely in a plastic bag. Place this in a warm place (like a furnace room or top of a refridgerator) for a few days---sprouts or "eyes" should form. Place in your tank and cross your fingers---it should come back. While I have used this method several times, I have not always been successful.

@CaptainBarnicles would you believe I went to do a routine clean on my tank today ready to take the bulb out to putut in the frixge and what did I see? The tiniest little shoot! I left it alone and will update on its progress.
