Do you let amaryllis bulb go dormant?

@WittySweetsop Unlike other bulbs, Amaryllis does not require a dormant period in order to flower. However, if you want to time your plant’s bloom around the holidays the bulb must be forced into dormancy in the fall. When you bring your amaryllis indoors, store it in a cool, dry, and dark place. Let the leaves die back before cutting them off and do not water. After 10-12 weeks, move the bulb back into a bright, sunny place and begin watering and fertilizing once more. If your amaryllis has been well-cared for, you can expect to see flower development in 4-6 weeks.
