A few comments from someone growing S. natalensis in containers (6-inch-deep plastic pots and a porous commercial mix) in the frozen North. For me, it is definitely a summer-grower (it spends the summer outside in three-quarters sun), its leaves yellowing in late summer/early fall. My difficulty with it has been in getting it through winter. My practice has been to store it dry in its pots at cool (35 to 50 F) temperatures, but always the bulbs seem to get too dry, and to have a bit of a struggle getting going in spring and putting on size in summer, and they have yet to flower (I've had them for several years). I've resolved to give them a spritz or two of water next winter to see whether that regime makes them happier.
