What should I read before getting to Plotinus, I have to have

You'll benefit more from secondary literature on Neo-Platonism and Plotinus than Plotinus directly, at least at first. The Enneads are probably comparatively little-read compared to how much influence Plotinus seems to have.

If I were you I'd be prepared to read a lot of secondary literature and make use of diagrams a lot.

I mean even when I read an entry on him in History of Philosophy book I already made few diagrams.

> I have general understanding of Plato (read Symposium and Apology).

Great, another bluffer.

start with the greeks, then start with the Alexandrians, then with the germans

>I have general understanding of Plato (read Symposium and Apology
You don't. At the very least read Euthyphro, Crito, Phaedo, Meno, Phaedrus, Republic, Timaeus.

You can't approach Neoplatonism by skipping these dialogues.

Parmenides too, it's important for the idea of the transcendence of the One. I think the basics for Neoplatonism are it, the Symposium and Timaeus.
