Here in Arizona we grow them outside in the shade, and they go completely dormant every summer, leaving just a bare bulb showing above ground. I suspect that yours will need a dormant period, but I am unsure what the best time for this would be in the UK. I would also check to make sure that it is getting enough light--they like shade outdoors, but not really dark areas.
