Cyrtanthus

Hi Ina,

Cyrtanthus comes from both winter and summer rainfall areas and the
different species have different requirements. Some of them
definitely go dormant. Cyrtanthus was the topic of the week once and
we have links to the introductions for it on the wiki Cyrtanthus page.

There is also a link to an article written by Graham Duncan on this
genus as well.

My C. brachyscyphus never completely go dormant even though I water
them much less during winter and then step up the watering when I can
see they are starting to send up scapes.

I think you'll find some very useful information if you check out the
introductions, the wiki Cyrtanthus pages, and the article we have linked.
