Hi Michael, I did nothing special over winter except I water much less. My sunroom is a high of 61* & coldest to mid 40's so it goes semi dormant. I have another (ice cream) in a sunny window at 68* & it is growing fine and takes up more water.
If kept cool --less water. If warmer & putting out leaves --water more & some fert.
Worst thing you can do in winter is overwater. The corm & roots will rot.
