I received this Amaryllis Plant last December and there were no directions with it (as I was just told not to water it). It never bloomed until July (1 bloom) and now again in August (4 blooms). Upon researching it, I found that people usually pot these however, mine is wrapped in a gold like waxy covering. Am I to remove that and plant it and if so, when? I love how clean it is, and I’ve never watered it to date. It’s so beautiful and I don’t want to ruin him. Please help me keep it vibrant! Thank you!
