Phaedranessa culture

Dear All,
I have several species of Phaedranessa bulbs. The only one I am
sure of the ID is the one I bought from Telos Rare Bulbs and it blooms
fairly well. Others I have raised from seed have never bloomed.
I recall reading Phaedranessa requires a drought period. Can
anyone tell me when to withhold water and for how long a period?
I can never get a clear sense of dormancy because when the mother
bulb is dormant, the daughter offset is growing. What to do?

Kind regards, Joyce Miller
