Mary Sue: Just to confuse the issue of how to care for the Nerines "off season" I would offer this. My Zinkowski rescue bulbs are grown under lights in a basement. They received no water from the point the leaves begin to yellow until I see growth in the fall. I have flower scapes on all the hybrids at the moment. Temperatures are fairly stable at about 65 to 70 F. Day length doesn't vary at all, the lights are set to be on for 12 hours per day all year. Arnold New Jersey
