This is a cut and paste email sent out by a closed to public bulb forum from a guy in Phoenix, Az answering questions on his care for Sprekelia.
Do your Sprekelia stay outside in the weather all year?
Yes. There are about a dozen bulbs in an 8" diameter plastic terra pot on
the east side of my house.

Do they have full sun?
Full sun for half the day, then they are in the shade of my house.

What is the summer temperature where you live?
We're already into the 90s F every day with nights in the 60s. Come late
May it will be above 100 F every day with nights in the 70s. June it will
be over 110 F most days with nights in the 70s-80s. July is in the 100-110
range days and 80s-90s at night. It begins cooling down in late September.
So far we're having typical weather.

How often do you water them in summer?
Several times per week. I try not to let them dry out.

This winter I moved the pot against the house so the roof overhang would
protect against winter rains. I stopped watering in November. I started
about two weeks ago when a few bulbs started making leaves, but no
flowers.
