I received some Rain Lily seeds and I read they are family members of Amaryllis. What is the proper way and time to sow them? This is my first time growing things on my own and I want to do it right. I only have 20 Rain Lily seeds and I don't want to screw it up.

My Amaryllis won't bloom. I received it from my school's greenhouse as a present from my teacher. It bloomed once and then ever since then it wont bloom again. It grows the long leaves and thats it. I follow the three month rule where you ignore it and don't water it for three months and then water it after that but it still doesn't work.

I'm also curious about the soil it is in. The soil is so well draining that the water goes straight though it when I water the plant. Generally I give it a few waterings in one sitting because of this. Can I take the bulb out and replace the soil with something more substantial? Or would that be a bad idea?
