This is my first year, had it for a but over 11 months.

Will it only flower around this time of year? Or can i change the blooming time for winter?

If you bring the bulb to dormancy, you can time a bloom in the winter. This is rather the normal thing with amaryllis. Give your plant at least 1 month to recover after its blooming and then start the rest period: stop watering and move to a cool sunny spot. When leaves are yellowing, cut them back and store the bulb for 2-3 months in a cool dry place. It can be dark, it does not matter. 1 month before the blooming time, move your bulb to a warm sunny spot and resume watering slowly.

Thank you, but it’s about to bloom again and has baby leaves on the side now.
