It depends upon whether you are planning to put them in soil or in a pot for indoors.
For indoor, plant the bulb with about one-third of its neck exposed and put it in a pot that is snug; say about one to two inches between it and the edge of the pot. Use a good planting mix and make sure it is friable and drains well. The ideal temperature is 68 to 70 degrees F. Water sparingly until the stem appears, then, as the bud and leaves appear, gradually water more. At this point, the stem will grow rapidly and flowers will develop after it has reached full growth. Keep it moist, but not wet.
The flowers or leaves will appear about 7-10 weeks after you plant.
How do I plant amaryllis equestrian bulbs?
I planted mine in Sept/Oct. They will grow very tall and may need support. I think part of the bulb is supposed to be left showing. It needs a sturdy pot or it will fall over, should bloom by Christmas.
