My limited experience of amanacaes is that it grows from mid/ late Summer until mid Winter, grown indoors/ under cover in the northern Hemisphere. I would not give such bulbs much water to wake them up, rather a little humidity and wait for them to grow enough leaf to use water, before wetting the soil.
