Do Cyrtanthus in the wild have a dormant period over winter?

I have Cyrtanthus Venus, which I have kept dry. The pot is almost bone
dry, yet the bulbs show little sign of going dormant. It is zone 9-10
here, so am wondering if Cyrtanthus go dormant in the wild.

Also I have some year old seedlings of Cyrtanthus Brachyscyphus. Should
they be allowed to carry on growing this first winter? That is if the
Cyrtanthus do have a naturally dormant period.
