Greetings,
  You cannot overpot Amaryllids (from their perspective - you're back my beg to differ) and in my experience transplating when the bulb is in active growth is best. That means when the bulb has started growth for the season or when it's leaves are still expanding. I would not try to repot an Amaryllid going into dormancy.

> I have a Haem. humilis humilis received from BX203 May 2009.  It has bloomed twice now, 2013 and 2014.  At this moment the leaves are drooping a few inches over the sides of its 6" terra-cotta pot.  It should now probably be potted up into a 10" or 12" pot.
