How do you keep tropical lillies alive in colder climates during the winter? Do you bring them in and keep them in a bucket of pond water in your garage or basement, do they need an artificial light source and do you need to fertilize them or do water changes throughout the winter months?

I kept some alive just stuck in one of those sort of transparent tubs, pond water, stuck in the basement next to the walk out sliders. Never did anything else except add water when it got low.

Stuck in pond and they are growing. May not make it next winter, but will try again lol.
