Amaryllis?
I have Huge amaryllis green leaves that I can't contain. Can I cut them back and still keep the bulb for future? Or will it kill the planted?

Hi there, you can 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 be fine.
Here is a good link about after flowering care, you should be able to cut it back to have it successfully restart:

I've dug up amaryllis bulbs and put them in a brown bag and stores in my cool basement and then replanted the next year and they've been fine.
Lots of good information here:
