Is It Too Late To Divide My Amaryllis?

Question

I have a very happy healthy amaryllis planted outside. It blooms with 4 giant red flowers every May but last year got huge, with visible secondary bulbs. Each bulb produced 4 flowers last year, to give me 12 total, over two months. It has gotten too big for its space, and I planned to divide it last fall but didn’t get a chance to. Will I put it into shock if I divide it now? Do I have to wait now until after it has bloomed this year? (And if so, how long do I need to wait? Until fall?) It now has 3 secondary bulbs that I can see, but only one leaf has started to poke up from the ground. Thank you!

Answer 1

If you divide now, you may sacrifice the blooms but it’s worth the effort if they are overcrowded. The article below says in warmer regions you can divide now.
