Cat--

I remember from days past, that an Amaryllis bulb should be left
1/3 above ground. Give or take.

Again--I have had this big pot, with the same bulbs in it, for about 10 years.
It started out with 5 bulbs. Several of them have put out pups and now there
are more bulbs in this huge pot.

I went out to take a picture for you of how the bulbs have been planted.
Ignore all the dying back foliage. It is normal this time of year.

Also--after it's dormancy--cut the necks of the bulbs back close to the bulb.
Just take a sharp knife and cut level.
NEVER allow water to run into the tops of the necks!

Here's mine--still outside. G.
