So I bought some "tropical bulbs", now what?

Hello, everyone! My first thread here, so please bear with me!
I have a limited experience with bulbs (so I think I am a bulb newbie, but quite impulsive), and almost none with tropicals.They were on sale on Buried Treasures, so I couldn't help myself.
Moreover, I am new to this 8a zone, so I have no idea when fall comes!!!
Can I pot them now? If yes, how deep? If no, what to do with them? How should I store them until spring, if I have only the following conditions: indoors, outdoors, fridge?

They are the following:
Gloriosa lilies (superba and lutea)
Pancratium zeylanicum
Eucrosia bi-color (Peruvian lily)
Eucharis amazonica (Amazon lily)

Thanks so much for any advice.

Gloriosas- I usually grow mine in very large containers (14 to 20" +).
I place the tubers (which are often shaped like fingers, legs, or L's) 2 inches below the top of the soil, they are placed horizontally with an inch or two apart, 3 to 6 per container. If using pots or containers, its a good idea to have a trellis in place so as not to accidently pierce one when soil covered later. They can grow upward (by tendrils at leaf's ends) up to 8 feet per season. It's essential to provide a support for them to grow upward on. The soil must be free draining (adding some sand usually helps). For most of my containers I put a couple inches of styrofoam peanuts in the bottom (this keeps the weight more manageable and helps drainage). Mine usually bloom through the whole summer season.When they decline by fall, taper off watering. I move mine to the basement for overwinter storage. If utilizing large pots, they maybe be left dry in the pots till spring when it is recommended they be re-potted. When tapped out of their old pot an amazing juxtapositioning has often occurred in that the tubers migrate from the horizontal plane to become vertical.
I usually fertilize them with liquid MiracleGrow every 2 to 3 weeks.
One can ascertain when they'll come out of their dormancy by observing the tuber tips, they take on a pinkish coloration. At this point it is usually easier to establish which side goes up when planting for a rudimentary eye becomes visible and points upward. The basement here maintains a fairly constant average temperature around 60 degrees.
When grown outside they prefer night temps 60 - 70 degrees but can tolerate down to 50 degrees. Preferred day temps are 75 degrees or higher with high humidity (typical midwest climate).
They can also be grown as houseplants or in the ground summer plants.
At season's end or next season's beginning when extracting them from their habitat it is easy to break them. If that happens be not overly alarmed as usaully each separate leg will bloom any way.

I have exp. w/ eucrosia, which I also got from BT 2 years ago. It's a little bulb and 4-5" deep should be deep enough. They bloom in early spring, so you won't see those beautiful orange flowers this year but should next year. I have leaves right now and if my memory serves me right, they disappear in winter. Mine are inground, full sun.

Also, I think this is one of those that blooms first, then when finished, leaves start appearing. I am not sure they will survive a zone 8 winter, but, yes, pot them now.

Thanks, Jmorth and Vossner!
Jmorth, what do you think? the Gloriosas: in the soil now, or storage? At least one of them has the pinkie stuff you describe.
Anybody having ideas for the other two?

I do believe you probably ought to plant the Gloriosa tubers. If you're in a frost free zone you can grow them in well-drained soil. You might have success in the ground there. Either way, pot or ground, I think you should plant them.

Those are some beautiful Gloriosas you have! Thanks for the advice. I don't think is frost-free, but I honestly have no idea, I'm pretty new here! I'll pot them tomorrow. During cold season, I'll store them in the garage or in a warmer area if needed, and I'll know for next year.
Thank you, J!
Probably I should do the same with the rest?!

You might want to try the Amazon lilies as houseplants; many resources I've read seem to indicate that is the method.

One more Gloriosa shot- this is the first time I've tried growing some in a hanging basket.

The Panacratium likes it dry in winter (for me--just put it in the garage) and semi-shade (half day) also for me--I've grow several of the Panacratium's from seed
=)

So I guess my garage will be good as well It also has a window, so it's not completely dark in there, it can be some bright shade or full shade, depending on the location. Thanks.
Well, Debbie, now I know better...
;o)

You can plant all the bulbs now , here is my Amazone lily

Gloriosa lilies

Thanks, Gumlla! That's where I'm heading now!

by in the garage I mean completely dry and dormant--it rains a lot here in the winter, can't keep it dry outside

That's good to know, thanks for the advice. My garage seems a good one, it has some natural light during the day and there is enough space for them. I will let them be in there.

Hugs,
Alexandra

Goofy,

I have a clump of Pancratium zeylanicum, it blooms for about 3-4 days.

Thanks, Dale! When is its blooming season?

For me, in mid June. Yours might be later since you are further north, but, you never know.

Here is a 'bulb' I saw today, Clivia

I thought a little update would be nice. There were 3 bulbs of each type. I shared 2 of my Eucharis amazonica (Amazon lily) to challenge somebody (in a hopefully funny and successful way).
I've been away for more than 3 weeks, and my DH tried to do his best with watering all kinds of plants (oh, so different requirements!)
I'm happy to say that most of the thingies, I found sprouted and grown. For almost all the varieties of bulbs, I have 100% sprouting. The not-so-perfect ones are:
the Gloriosa lutea, only 1 of 3 (and I don't think right now that it will get better, than that)
the Eucharis bulbs: my bulb sprouted, and my friend's report says 1 out of 2, so that's a total of 2 out of 3. I'm happy that each of us have at least one living bulb, so that we can continue the "game"!
Thank you all for advice, any suggestions on what to do further are welcome. I will remember about the garage and dormancy. Being in pots, will they need fertilizing?

Hugs,
Alexandra

yes
=)
