Eucomis question

I've got Eucomis vandermerwei, E aloha leia, and E bicolor,
I'm never sure what to do with them in the winter ...
Do they all require the same treatment - keep dry and remove dead leaves ?

One of the E aloha leias seems to be regrowing, I can see a little shoot appearing (compost is wet). What should I do with it ?
They are all in the house ...

 

Hi @Michael Hewett I thought bicolor was supposed to be hardy, so I'd have thought you could get away with leaving it outside but with a cover over the soil to avoid damp. But I'm not very good with them...

 

I've had a seed grown one form a fairly large clump in the garden, its probably E. autumnalis, totally hardy in my opinion.
I had Aloha, but two bulbs just disappeared overwinter in their first year overwintering in a greenhouse.
I keep E. bicolor in the greenhouse overwinter and the clump is drying out and leaves mostly gone now, I dont think they need to be totally dry, just frost free in pots, not tried planting this one out.

I dont think I'd keep them in the house, most come from high elevations of South Africa so do get cold winters, just maybe not arctic type winters.

 

Thank you both ...
I think I'll put them in the greenhouse where it's dry. The soil is wet in some of the pots but they won't get frosted in there, and the pots are not big so they won't take up too much room.

 

I leave mine outside all winter under a glazed pergola. They always come back the following year.

 

Thanks for that information @kindredspirit

 

Hi

Put the pot on its side it will help stop it growing , keep in a cold place frost free and let it dry out ,

 

Thank you @Spruce I shall do that ...
