About two weeks before first frost in Fall, stop watering pots. Take cuttings if you wish: take 3-4 inch tips, remove all leaves execept a small one at the top, put starter pot, water well to start, then withhold water until signs of growth. Starts take less well in fall than spring, but some should make it. Keep watered until good signs of growth, then let die back as for fullgrown tubers.
After tubers are dry, remove any remaining foliage (carefully), and store pots, dry!, and protected from freezing, till spring. Below 40o is okay, as long as above 32o. In the spring look for tiny (usually pink) shoots, and start watering. Drench pot to start then keep moist till full growth starts. I put mine outside when the temperature goes above 45 to 50o. Not reliably above 50o at night where I live till August. Mine get full sun (Oregon inland from coast 6 miles) in the morning and full shade afternoon, and do really well. They don't need full shade!
