    hi, i recieved this large amaryllis bulb from a friend in early october, it had 2 smaller bulblets attached, i divided them and repotted them all. I took care of them w/ regular care, watered when needed, and i also had it in part sun. Just recently, the leaves all turned yellow and fell off, does that mean its getting ready to bloom???

    Hi Takana, The bulb is ready to rest for about two months, in a dark cool place. I would let it dry right out, and at the end of it's rest period,replant in fresh peat moss type soil. Bring into a warm bright spot,and it will probably re flower for you. Hope this helps!
    regards, Fiona
