They do better kept quite cool and out of direct hot sunlight.

If you keep the compost too wet on top, it will rot the corm.
Hope that's a bit of help.
Thanks Mups I do buy the indoor ones - I think my home may be too warm although I usually put them in the hall which is cooler. I know to water them from the bottom too but I still can't seem to keep them going! Maybe I should talk to them more - I do that with my garden plants and it seems to work with most of them
