Hi
I rescued this huge terracotta pot from the trash and there was an agreement on Amaryllis bulbs on the ID forum. As you can see is severely rootbound.some of the bulbs appear to have some rot, but one of them is pushing some very promising green (maybe a flower stalk?)

I was thinking on giving those bulbs a chance-if anything because any attempt of extract them would be traumatic- but I'm at a loss on which would be the better course of action. I am aware that after such harsh treatment the plants would take a looong time to recover and that it is also possible that they were discarded because of some disease or that visible rot.

I am watering the container and keeping it away from the scorching summer sun, but I'm unsure if i should be feeding them. constrained as they are or it's best to wait and see which parts can recover back to health.
I would welcome any advice! Thank you
