I'd like to thank you all for you input
Sorry I am not on very much anymore
Life keeps getting the the way

here are pictures of my tropicals
I had tears in my eyes pulling them up
The one that I have babied all summer has its first bud...
soooo sad

The one in the pot just doesent quit blooming
Don't know if there is a corm in there or not
The one with the bud and the one with red leaves both have corms
Now
questions

If I put the one thats still in a pot in a larger pot that holds water,keep it at 70 and with good lighting will it be OK?
Or should I unpot it and float it?

The 2 I unpotted
Do I remove all the leaves and roots or try to get them to die back on their own,if I'm saving the corms only?
Its in the 30's at nite
50's daytime
so I know its too cold outside for them
I have an aquarium with a floresent light.55 gallon with guppies in it
can I float them in there?

Again

HHHHEEEELLLLPPPPPPPP
