I'm pretty sure these questions have been addressed before.....
And I realize that the answers will be a little different depending on what geographical area you are in. I'm in Louisiana, zone 8 (a or b, take your pick), so we have a longer growing period here than many others of you. And I've found that I don't have to lower mine since the water doesn't freeze. But in general.....

- In general: How often do you feed them and how much do they need per feeding?
- In prep for winter: When should you stop feeding them? IOW, when (approx.) should the "final feeding" of the season be?
- How do you know when it's time to go in and trim them back for the winter?
- I want to re-pot during fall instead of spring, is there a "best" time to do this? Do you wait until they go dormant or will that matter?
- If I re-pot in the fall, do I add fertilizer then or wait until spring?
- And, when do you resume spring-summer fertilizing?
- When re-potting, if there are several plants (rhizomes), is it necessary to plant them in separate containers?
