I will let you know how things go @fiat. These bulbs came as a Christmas gift to me. I hope to have them for Christmas this year instead of after. I have antique Apple Blossom amaryllis in the ground that bloom at Easter. Our winters aren't cold enough for them to bloom for Christmas. I will try with these.

The leaves have yellowed quickly since taking them indoors last well. I stopped watering about a month ago. The days are in the high 80's still with nights in the 50's. I will cut the greenery back. Should I take them out of the pot and into a paperbag or leave them? They came in the pot that they were in. I am tempted to place them in the fridge. Do you recommend that in our tropical climate, Margaret/@mcash70?

This is what they looked like lastJanuary.
