I went ahead and bought some Watsonia Aletroides

I bought them here - they have several types of Watsonia. I bought this one cause it stays on the smaller size and I need to plant them in pots for my zone.

Here is my plan:

Pot up now - all 10 corms in one container water lightly
Hold in basement until ~ mid Jan '16 adding only a bit of water
Then put them under lights and water as needed
After May 1 or so - place on deck and water as needed

(The above is the process I used for 2 ornamental gingers last year.)

From then on, I will leave in pot and store in basement over winter - not digging up & storing

Your thoughts, opinions or comments? Other than I am freaking nuts? Rolling on the floor laughing I already know that.
