An amaryllis bulb will begin to grow even when placed in a dark location for dormancy. This is an indication to remove it from your closet and place it into a location with bright light. Not all bulbs will begin to grow on their own and need to be forced by introducing it to a well-lit location. To promote growth, place your bulb in a sunny spot at room temperature and keep the soil barely moist.
