Just trying to wake up my old ones. I forced them to have a dry rest in late Fall, still in their old soil, but inside our garage, no sun. They enjoyed the weekend rains we have. I guess that is the nearest tropical feel they will ever get here. Just keeping an eye out if there are nasty slimy snails/slugs lurking.
While they were in a dry rest in our garage: all in one container
Saw new leaf growth in mid January, so repotted in 22Jan2015:
The bulbs after removing from old container: not bad, some new younger ones, older ones feels just the right plumpness:
Repotted into three containers: 1 clay pot, re-using old plastic container and just tossed some at my old dahlia container:

After the rains of these past weekend:
I was also experimenting on one amaryllis bulb that I have kept in its original soil container, all throughout winter but indoors; gave it its version of dry rest, but nearer our sunny window, so it was able to keep its green long leaves, now I have it outdoors too, since I see the other bulbs are okay already with our prevailing temps:
I am also still maintaining one amaryllis in its glass container with clay rocks, grown indoors. It has its own thread, that is where I post ongoing updates.
