Cybistetes - let them stay up late?

Hello,

Almost all my S African winter-rainfall bulb seedlings have gone
dormant. But not Cybistetes longifolius, which looks just as happy as it
did in January. I've continued to water since they're bright green.
These are from Silvehill seed I received last spring. I planted them on
arrival even though my seasons were 6 months off, and kept them through
the summer in the coolest part of my house. Then last fall I put them
outside.

It is definitely summer here, with day temperatures well over 100 F and
nights in the 60s. Soon the nights will start warming up as well.

Should I keep watering the Cybistetes and keep them outside, or stop
watering to force dormancy? Or should I bring them into the house again
and keep them growing in a cooler area as long as possible?

Thanks,

Leo
