Amaryllis?

Tell me what you know about the amaryllis as much as you can tell me. Like the dormancy, the care, the propagation.

Amaryllis?
plant the first year in a 3" pot leave the top 1/3 of the bulb above the soil water once and put in a sunny location till the first sign of growth then water when the top 1/2 inch of soil is dry move to a place where it gets good light but not direct sun. the flower stock will be the first to come into view followed by the leaves turn the pot a 1/4 turn every 3 days to keep it growing straight when it quites flowering keep watering un till spring and put out side in a plot where you have your flower bed bury the pot up to the rim bring inside beforee frost and quit watering when the leaves have died remove from pot take the old potting soil off and put in a cool dark location till about 5 to 6 weeks befor you want it to bloom again then Go one pot size larger and do it all over again keep going up one size larger each year I have had some for as long as 30 years.
Reply:If you want any blooms by Christmas, plant them immediately.
