First, congratulations on getting your H. coronarium to bloom indoors. You must be pretty attentive to your plants to do that. I find coronarium to be the easiest to bloom and one of the first to bloom each season, but blooming them in the house is always a challenge.
As far as your specific questions, do NOT unpot the rhizomes and dry out your hedychiums. .... Just don't put them in a warm and really poorly lighted area because the heat will push them to try to grow and they'll exhaust themselves without adequate light to make more food. If you have bloomed coronarium indoors, you probably have a handle on the right amount of light.
I haven't been on this site much lately and wouldn't have seen your post, but another member (Deebie) told me you had a question about gingers. BTW - your Kahili (H. gardnerianum) is probably my favorite of all the ones I have.
