Hi Jan, 
i would just keep the Fall/ Winter growers dry and pot up just before Fall. Use a open mix for them as they like good drainage. i use a prepared potting mix, and just add more Pumice.
Oxalis bowiei can handle a little more water than the rest. 
I can not help you with the summer growers, as the only ones i have are the weedy ones, and they just grow with out help :). 
Cheers Kiyel, on a cold day in Norsewood, New Zealand.

Can I just keep them inside in their plastic bags for the next couple of months before I plant them since they need a summer dry period? We’re working on a new greenhouse and other new yard projects so I’d prefer to wait if I can.
