acidanthera care

hi chaps
i have 2 terracotta pots of acidanthera corms which have flowered beautifully and are starting to die back.
I was wondering how to care for the corms over the winter - should i lift them? And if so how and where is best to keep them until the spring?
thanks!

I had some planted in a large cast iron trough I saved from the farm I lived on and it was too big to move so the corms were lifted in the Autumn,cleaned and stored frost free....that was until I forgot them one year,lost the lot :(

 

does this mean that i could move the pots into the shed and wrap them in fleece etc, rather than lift them?

i hate having to lift corms and bulbs etc, such a blimmin waste of time!

sorry to hear about yours though :(

 

lynne,those were the only ones I ever lifted because they were my mums,so not sure.
