John, I have 2 pots of papilio. I leave them outside year round in Los
Gatos. They get whatever water nature provides in the winter. I water with a
hose in the summer and they have bloomed beautifully every year. I say that but
they haven't bloomed yet this year. My first hippeastrum just opened
yesterday and another today and there are more pots out there to come in. I don't
bring them in until they are ready to open. I do fertilize a couple of times
a year, kind of randomly, I did a 3-5 weeks ago.
