      <title>Dormancy for Amaryllis</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Amaryllis don't need to be repotted frequently as they like a tight fitting pot with the upper part of the bulb exposed. Cut down the flower stalk when the bloom fades to prevent seeds forming. Then water sparingly until the spring when the pots can be set out doors for the summer.
