Amaryllis are pretty fool-proof to force indoors. =) They are also pretty forgiving potted plants as long as you don’t overwater them (or let them freeze!). They don’t like “wet feet”...like a lot of other bulbs they will rot and mildew in wet soil. I’m so bad now that I basically do nothing to them at all (not even water them) once I put them back outside in spring. As for potting them, they like cramped conditions and for their bulbs to be partially exposed (don’t completely bury the bulb in the soil). I do have to water them in the winter because it is so dry indoors...they now naturally bloom around Valentine’s Day, while they are still indoors.

Give your Sheltie a big hug for me! They are such beautiful dogs. Did you have her as a little puppy? I’d like to have a dog, but I’m not sure I have the patience for a puppy lol. I have 3 cats - they are all old men now. Still crazy, but with some random grumpiness thrown in. :D
