When they start to die down or it starts to get cold, put them somewhere
dry and frost-free. That is all you have to do, but you can repot.
And they should be kept DRY in the dormant season - nowhere in the
UK ever gets as dry as their natural habitat, except in extreme
centrally-heated locations.

Mine did quite well for some years, but then suffered some sort of rot.
They were in an extremely well-drained pot of poor soil, too.

Oh, and they are lethally poisonous.

Nick Maclaren.

I had more or less the same experience as you Nick. I kept mine in the
bottom of the wardrobe, and it was fine for a couple of years,=then it
fizzled.
