Ferraria crispa

I am relatively new to Ferraria potted culture, but mine seem to crave
water during growth, sucking the pot dry fairly rapidly. I have a
Ferraria crispa v. nortieri in bloom right now, the image of which can
be seen at Bulbmeister.COM in the gallery. Besides their very unusual
appearance, I really enjoy the fragrance.

Hi all,
I'm a new member. 39-year old male living in Cliffwood Beach, New Jersey,
USA and plant nut since my kid-scientist days. My question to the experts
is:

I have just acquired a dormant Ferraria crispa tuber from Van Bourgoundien.
I plan to grow in a pot outdoors as spring is approaching us here in New
Jersey. How much
moisture while it is in growth and when to start enforcing dormancy?
