Do you think my amaryllis will bloom?

Last chrismas i received an amaryllis bulb as a gift i planted it it started growing flowers then after the flowers died i lcut them off and then in 3 days leafs started growing, then at the end of the summer the leafs started going brown so i cut them off and stopped watering my amaryllis and stored it in the cellar for four months, then now it has been growing 2 leafs in the past week that are 3 and a half inches tall, i was wondering do you think it's going to flower this winter it is called amaryllis picote.

Do you think my amaryllis will bloom?
Yes, indeed. Once it gets going it should produce a scape for you. Good that you left the foliage on and let it turn brown itself, then cut it. During the summer you can also water and fertilize it until it goes brown, then withhold water, keep it in the shade, and let it come up on its own. Once the temperature gets to about 50 F you should bring it inside in a half light situation, and as it grows give it a bit of water each week. Gradually bring it into full light when the scape appears.
Reply:I think it probably will. Just keep watering it and watch the show.
Reply:Yes, I think it will. Just keep it watered and in light. We put ours in a south facing window and it did very well.
