I grow them year around, never do the dormant thing. They are outside in the summer and in the kitchen in the winter. They bloom twice a year, reliably. I leave them out until night temps are forecasted to go below 40. I put them out when day temps reach 70. Never had a problem, never dry them out, feed annually with a nine month time release fertilizer in spring. One bulb has divided into 9 in one pot - one big pot! I repot every three years (or when winds from a storm blow the pot over and break it). They are tougher than you think. They like strong direct sunshine if you have it. There is no need to push or force dormancy. I get two blooms a year from them this way. They will sometimes put out a whole new set of leaves when they come in to the house. About once a month I put the pot in the shower for a soft soaking.
