I have four medium size bulbs. I got tired of the forcing thing and put them in protected spots, They all lived and are now growing. Three were in the back part of the cold frame, one was under a pile of leaves. I will be growing them for the summer in half day to full sun, despite what I've heard from an expert to put them in shade. Last year I walked thru a community garden and one whole full sun plot was rows of amaryllis !
I'm going to try to pour on the water and fertilizer this year and I hope some bloom- some red and some Apple blossom but I've lost track who is who, and also have a good dozen babies that I lost track of too.
The pic is a bulb with offshoots on either side.
