Just keep them in a climate controlled area.

My VHS tapes sat in my shed for about two years. Doesn't get too hot in there but the humidity is always there. Many suffered deterioration of the video and visible mold on the wound tape edges.

On the other hand, a friend of mine had tapes going back to 1978-79 that are still acceptable.
