Who can tell me about growing Amaryllis?

I have some bulbs that were given to me and one has bloomed already. I'm removing the flowers as they dry up but wondering if I should cut off the entire flower stalk once the last flower is gone. I want to keep them growing and move them outdoors when it's safe to do so. Maybe I'll keep them in pots so I can bring them back in as needed.

So, what to do about the stalk? Remove it or let it die back on its own like I would with daffodils?

1. I have them

You can do either. They make nice greenery all year. You can leave the leaves if you want. But it's okay too if you trim them. I divide mine every year or so. Just dig em up and seperate the bulbs. Replant them and you are all set.

3. Thanks for all the info. I should

have paid more attention to what my father did with his Amaryllis but I mostly grew veggie back then.

2. If you cut back the stalk and feed it, you might get a secondary set of leaves & blooms,

as I am now.

4. Thanks for the tip. I'd like to have them

re-bloom outdoors, too, if possible, so I'll feed them well and see how it goes.
