Healthy, mature amaryllis bulbs will produce “offset” bulbs, which you can remove and repot, giving you a new set of plants.
The best time to divide the offsets is after flowering, when the foliage has died back naturally and the plants are dormant. It’s important not to cut off the leaves until they have died back because the plant will create and store energy through its foliage.
It is also important to remember that while amaryllis like to be pot bound they will do best when repotted every 3 or 4 years.
