Leftwood said: Yes. keep them warm, at least above freezing, but better to have them warmer and actually growing. I have no experience with the dwarf form, but the regular tall formosanum doesn't need a winter to continue growth ( although a winter is OK). Keep them in their original pots until they are crowding each other, or until your spring arrives. The larger bulbs that they have will translate to easier transplanting.

very much! I will place them in the warm greenhouse once cool ( not cold) weather sets in , perhaps by late march. I can keep them growing all winter long and yes wait until bulblets overcrowd the initial pot. Then perhaps add some dilute fertilizer to stimulate growth?
Would this also be the case for the rest of my seedlings? I have another pot of pardalinumxkellogii cross from Steve2020 seeds that have lovely single blades. These days some trumpet seeds also from Steve are emerging. So common sense would indicate give them warm treatment to all. Can I go wrong with any by doing so?
What about offsets showing up at the base of spent bloomed stalks?. Would you also treat them as seedlings. Since I do also have a cool greenhouse with temps ocasionally dropping to -1ºC in mid winter/early spring, they could get enough cold without danger of the soil freezing. I really do not understand how sensitive to frost are these first blades
