When did you get it? How did it come to you? Wan it already potted? Is it possible it had already flowered before you got it?

I got it 2 years ago I believe and the leaves were grower out. I repotted a week later.

Yeah that’s a very long time for it not have bloomed. I heard that the waxed bulbs are supposed to only bloom once but there was a way to get it to rebloom. But it sounds like you did all the things. I would cut the leaves and roots back forcing it into dormancy. Let it rest for about 5-8 weeks and then try again. But I am new to amaryllis so I can’t say for certain. I hope you can get it to bloom because they are such beautiful plants. Good luck.

I purchased 3 in November. One was in a boxed kit. When I went to take it out of the box it was already blooming lol
