Amoreuxia gonzalezii - dormancy advice?

I don't know if this is truly a geophyte or not, but it's been in a 
BX/SX several times (I received the seeds from one in 2014) so I know 
people here grow it.

The seed packet was misplaced and I only found it this past spring, but 
based on the appearance I scarified the seeds and 6 of 8 germinated 
rather quickly. Three of those faded away over the following few weeks, 
but the other three grew well. Over the last couple of weeks the leaves 
have yellowed and dropped, and I assume they're entering seasonal dormancy.

I also assume I should reduce water, but avoid desiccation, as with 
Cynorkis or Habenaria? How about cold tolerate or preference while 
dormant? Surely not hardy in NW Arkansas, so any advice about pot 
culture will be appreciated.
