Hello, first time poster here! I have two amaryllis that are currently fighting off red spot, but as life has been chaotic I realized I totally forgot to help them into dormancy this past September. My question- is it too late now to induce dormancy and get blooms this year/ would the red spot kill them in dormancy (new plant fanatic here, never dealt with this kind of situation before!), or should I consider dormancy even if it's super late in the year...? Thank you!! Please let me know if you'd like additional information!

    I don’t know what red spot is but as far as dormancy, I was late with mine. I did it about two weeks ago. From my research, they need a minimum of six weeks. I’m figuring mine won’t be blooming till well after Christmas. But it will be a beautiful sight to have in the middle of winter.
