I grow my hippeastrum year around. They are outside in the summer and in the kitchen in the winter. They bloom twice a year, reliably. I leave them out until night temps are forecasted to go below 40. I put them out when day temps reach 70. Never had a problem, never dry them out, feed annually with a nine month time release fertilizer in spring. One bulb has divided into 9 in one pot - one big pot! I repot every three years (or when winds from a storm blow the pot over and break it). They are tougher than you think.
