Default Getting Amaryllis to flower again

Hello,

has anybody had any luck with getting an Amaryllis to bloom the
following year?

Unfortunately, all it wants to do is produce leaves. What's the secret
to getting it to flower?


I just ignore mine! Once it has flowered, I water it if I remember until
the leaves die, then dump it on a shelf somewhere. Eventually it starts
growing again, and I deign to water it! It flowers roughly once a year,
and I've had it for at least 5 years!

Neglect definitely seems to work.
