I need some advice. Year before last I was sent Amaryllis for Christmas. It bloomed beautifully. I let the greens die down and then it hung around waiting for me to repot the bulbs. I never did. I put it on the back stairs and it sat there for the rest of the year and until now. Now, I guess because the sun is higher, the green shoots are starting to grow. Its dry as a bone. I haven't watered it since sometime last fall I guess. I realize that its life cycle is all off now. I've been reading about repotting it and I need to get a bigger dish (it's not in a conventional grow pot with holes in the bottom, but a ceramic pot that's 8".) I plan to go out today and get a 9" pot and bulb growing medium. Should I get another ceramic pot or just put it into a plastic pot with holes on the bottom that could sit in some other decorative container later? Some of what I read says I can just use the organic potting soil I have cut 50/50 with coarse sand. Is this true? Am I correct to repot and let it grow through the summer? I could really use some advice because I'm really not knowledgeable about bulbs at all much less Amaryllis.
