My L. socialis normally goes partially dormant in winter in my cool greenhouse. It will lose many leaves, but not all, and I just pick them off as they fade. It tolerates winter watering but is equally happy to stay fairly dry. In spring it puts out new growth and blooms. I grow it alongside Drimiopsis maculata, which loses all leaves and spends winter as bare green bulbs. I recently acquired another clone of socialis (they are self-sterile), which was very crowded in a 5" pot. I divided it heavily and now have about ten square pots plus another dozen or so small bulbs in 4-pack seedling pots. As soon as I did this, all of them sprang into growth, happy I guess to be thinned and into some fresh promix. I have been watering them but as winter comes on I expect them to slow down as my existing large specimen does. I agree with Arnold that these are very forgiving plants. They are good on a sunny windowsill provided you don't have cats that want to eat them; they are somewhat toxic as I understand it.
