When we discussed this in the past Den Wilson offered some ways of helping and I made a wiki page and added a few pictures: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I treated my Nerines with the peroxide water solution, sometimes more than once and they seem all right now, but I found that growing the N. sarniensis hybrid types outside in my wet winters is asking for trouble so now have them in my greenhouse. I have some Nerine pudica in the ground which has been blooming every fall for a number of years now and it has not had a problem and some of the summer rainfall species I leave out in my open but covered on the top look fine too. Perhaps they tolerate cold better.
