Best thing to do with them is to keep them growing, saw it on a
gardening prog and tried it, worked very well, just keep them pot
bound, water and feed, and you will be rewarded with more blooms,
often more than one flower spike. Best I had was a flower spike with 6
blooms, and mine were kept groeing for several years with NO stopping.

Yes, I remember seeing a Gardener's World prog. a few years back where a
lady in Wales, I think, grew hundreds of them in her house and around her
garden. She had Amaryllis enthusiasts from around the world visiting her
hoping to discover the secret of her success. I have never been able to get
any of mine to flower after the first year and envy greatly those of you who
do.
