Does anyone know how to put these in dormancy?

It will happen gradually on its own. The flower will fade and then the leaves will get thin and flimsy. There's also no harm to the bulb to pull it out of the soil and put it in a paper bag to dry it out.

@sarah10orio just curious, am I supposed to keep watering it if I want to make it dormant? Mine has heavily rooted and the leaves are still doing ok even though I haven't watered it in a month and a half.
