I don't think you harmed it. Since it hadn't bloomed on its own, it probably just needed more dormant time.

When they are potted or bare, and bloom for Xmas, it is because they have been dormant for a certain length of time, then woken up by watering and they usually bloom in some predictable time frame.

When grown in the ground where they are hardy (I have some ) winter is the cold period, mine are noe growing some leaves and should bloom early summer? I guess. Then more leaves grow until frost, so the plant can rebuild the bulb.
Plant it and they will come.
