  I don't grow them, but I'll tag @Lyn, as she certainly does 
  I think most need lifted though, and kept frost free, but don't quote me on that 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  I take then out of their pots,  leave to dry on a shed/green house bench or conservatory,  the old growth should drop off easily once dry,  then after checking for holes from vine weevil,  and when they’re dry, I wrap them in newspaper and store in a box in the bottom of a wardrobe. 
  Have a look next March,  they should have little white shoots,  lay on top of a seed tray with any old compost, just sinking them in a bit,  water carefully around the edges,  not direct on the corms,  those little white shoots will grow, when they get to about 4/5” tall,  pot up in their own pots. 
  Nothing to it. 🙂
