I just received a dormant bulb of H. amarylloides ssp.amarylloides.  No leaves, no roots.

Now, how do I deal with it.  When and how should it be potted.  Then when should I try watering to see if I can get it to break dormancy and how should considerations of hemisphere change be added into these questions, as it came from South Africa.

Thanks, Steve Putman

In bloom here in Delaware greenhouse - Cyclamen persicum, Haem. deformis, Hippeastrum glaucesens, and buds in a few other pots.
