Watering Of An Amaryllis

I just received an amaryllis as a Christmas gift. The bulbs are above ground but no growth at this time. How moist does the plant need, should I water daily, weekly when the soil feels dry? It is potted and will be kept indoors

At this point, I would treat it as a dormant bulb, unless you intend to force it. This may shorten the lifespan of the plant, though.
