Hi Rob, Thank you so much for the advice. Just this morning, I put the pot in my (very cool) basement where I currently house my hippeastrums. I will follow your advice and do the same thing.

My experience is that it will go dormant this time of the year and when it does, it goes into my cool basement till the middle of April. During that time, I water very sparingly keeping the soil barely moist. Then in April I bring it upstairs and water once a week or so till I can get it outside in May.
