Thank you!

So, with possible growing season of 7 months, they'll be a houseplant almost as long as they're a garden plant.
How well-lit? would bright light indoors be ok? or would they need winter sun?

How do you know they're going dormant? do they just brown off and die back like a tulip?

How would you store the tubers? right in their pots? or dig and keep covered in peat maybe?

Do they start to sprout when they're ready to grow again, like a dahlia?
