If possible separate it into an individual pot, so it could have a better chance to bloom out...

Sara, you are right, it is not a papillio, and chances are it is not even a Hippeastrum. Sara remove some soil from the base and see if there is a Hippeastrum bulb below it. If there is an onion below the leaves then you would be having :roll: will tell later.
