My friend is moving and gave me an amarillus bulb which is potted and just
starting to sprout about 3" or so. What do I do know to get it to bloom
inside. (It's freezing now in NJ). Thanks in advance for your help.


That is most likely the bloom itself. Most Amaryllis send up the bloom first
and then send out leaves. Put it in a sunny window and don't let it dry out
and you should have a beautiful bloom in a few days. Let it have sun and food
while the leaves do their thing and you will have another bloom later.

If you do a google search in this group and you will find out how you can
force it to bloom more often than just once a year.
