I noticed some shinny green nodes just behind the bloom. Are these seeds. if so please provide information regarding them so I can grow more from these seeds. If not seed pods what are they. These are indoor plants as I live in zone 6.
These ARE seed pods, but it is important to note that these will take about 4 years to flower from seed. This article will explain how to correctly harvest these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/amaryllis-hippeastrum/amaryllis-bulbs-propagation.htm

How can I get offshoot small amaryllis bulbs to get large?
They can take a few seasons to fatten up, naturally, but you can take them small and separate them into their own space, and they will continue to grow like this as well. Sometimes I am a little too rough with mine when repotting, so they break off. I just stick these into their own container, and they keep on going!
You can also try fertilizing with something a little higher in potassium and phosphorus, as this can help them fatten up a bit as well.
Here is an article to refresh you on the care of amaryllis: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/amaryllis-hippeastrum/amaryllis-care-instructions-how-to-care-for-an-amaryllis.htm

You Amaryllis seem to be lacking light, and need a larger pot. Once these two problems are solved, then you will see a drastic improvement, although they do not look all that bad right now.

Hello so I have an amaryllis and it didn’t bloom this year because I dug it up to early so it sent up green leafs instead of a stem which I get . So today the pot fell over and the leaf broke off so I cut it to the bulb . Did I do the right thing by cutting it to the bulb ? Will it grow back ? And when will it send up new growth?
You should only cut off what is dead or broken. Cutting ANY living material from an Amaryllis is a big no-no. The only thing that you can do is wait and care for it properly. Please consult our amaryllis articles. They can be found here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/amaryllis-hippeastrum
what compost should I have used?
I always suggest using sterile, good quality potting soil for all you indoor plantings.
