Yes to everything Barbara said, and welcome to our group of Amaryllis fanatics! nodding . I store many of my dormant bulbs in the fridge -- each in their own paper bag, in the crisper drawer. Each bag is laeled with the name and date I dug it up. If you store them in the fridge, do NOT put any apples in the fridge - they emit chemicals that will make your bulbs sterile. I try also not to store any citrus fruit in the fridge for the same reason. Also, at least one time during the dormant period I set the roots in a bowl of water for an hour or two to give them a drink. Make sure you do not let your bulbs get soggy at any time, or like Barbara said, they will surely rot. As for videos - you might like to go to You Tube and type in "Amaryllis Man" - he has some good videos.

When I have Lady Jane in my office, I annoy my coworkers by repeatedly humming, playing and singing the song My Sweet Lady Jane! Rolling on the floor laughing
