Does my amaryllis offshoot need a dormant period?

Last chrismas i planted my mature amaryllis bulb it flowered then it started a tiny bulb and then iwaited two months then seperated it then rooted it in a cup of water, then i planted it and now might be the time to put it dormant, should i only enter mature bulbs into dormancy?

Does my amaryllis offshoot need a dormant period?
It won't help to give it a dormant period, if it isn't of size to create a bloom. So better to just let it be a houseplant for a while and work on building up its bulb and ability to flower.





BTW, bringing your amaryllises outside for the summer months is a great way to speed up their growth.
