Hi. First time on this forum. I was wondering if anybody could tell me what hippeastrum I have here and what I need to do to get it to bloom again. I bought a single bulb that took over 1 year to start to grow but has since multiplied quite readily but flowered only once. I don't force it into dormancy since it took so long to start growing I figured it doesn't like that, it's kept moist but not wet and allowed to dry slightly between waterings and is in bright light but not direct sun except late afternoon. I fertilize it during the summer only. Here are some pictures of it though they may be a bit blurry.
