Lachenalias are warm climate plants, where they receive intense sunlight during their winter growing season. All efforts to grow them under different conditions over the decades ended in failure. Even if the first season they grow and flower afterwards they are gone for good.
In yours (and any other except Southern California) I would pot my Lachenalias and then plunge the pot in the ground so in case of a potential catastrophe I can go run to the rescue.
All the best
