In general we haven't had any problem in repotting any of 
the amaryllids and others , often in advanced growth ( 
several sp of Haemanthus, Brunsvigias, Massonia, Babiana,  
and others). Maybe others have different experience.

I did so last year with the 2 larger potted specimens and plan to do so with the remaining two ... along with several community pots of 2.5-year old B.haemanthoides seedlings.
