For the Pineapple Lily, Tuberose, & Zephyranthes - I leave my in the pots/containers they were grown in which are put in the basement overwinter; I might sprinkle a little water on the latter two maybe once or twice; the Eucomis, dry.
Sprekelia I usually store in perlite. They last overwinter but haven't bloomed in a couple of years.
The temperature down there usually hovers just below 60 degrees.
Tuberoses can also be stored in sand in frost free conditions.
Herewith a pic of one of my Eucomis.
