Amaryllis

I repotted my amaryllis bulb Sunday. I got it for Christmas last year. I should have let it die back and put it in a dark place, but I got lazy and didn't do it. The bulb then put up new leaves. So, I figured I'd better let it make some energy. Here it is September, and it's been horribly abused. I had it in a too small pot and there was more roots than soil. And I had been letting it dry out. So, I put it a bigger pot with more soil and even put it out for some sun yesterday. It probably needs more water. But it's looking good. My mom's had hers flower when placed outside in soil. I think this poor thing is going to need a couple more years of storing up energy, first.
