Hi Elaine - I think this site has all your answers: https://www.gardenguides.com/110668-care-amaryllis-after-bloom.html
Hi Elaine After the flowers have faded, cut the flower stalk to within 1" of the top of the bulb. Continue to water and feed the plant regularly with a liquid houseplant fertilizer. Amaryllis will grow a number of leaves during the spring and summer. This will help the plant produce energy for the following year's bloom.
Cut it down to the dirt and put it in the shade
Hi Elaine, cut the leaves and the flower stalk, if you have any to about 2.5 cm (1") from the top of the bulb. Water and feed the bulb after cutting and it should produce new news and flowers.
