Three or so weeks I bought an amaryllis bulb kit and planted it. In a few days, it had began to sprout to about an inch or two. It hasn't grown since.

I keep it in a south-facing window. Do you think it gets too cold? Is it possible that I planted it too deep? I can take a picture of it, if that will help.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

There should be about 1/3 - 1/2 of the bulb above the ground. Keep it fairly warm and I don't put mine in a bright window til about a week after I pot it up

I bet I have it too deep.

Do you think it would hurt it if I replanted it?

Thanks!

It definetly not hurt to replant it.

I think it might be (starting to?) rotting.

When I took it out of the soil some of the skin was failing off. I repotted it anyway so we'll see how it does!
