Amaryllis Plant

What do you do after your Amaryllis has finished flowering?
Does it need any special attention?

I do this with ours but leave them out in the garden all summer, which they seem to like  :D

Ours go up on the bonsai bench, and it would take one very very determined slug to scale those legs -- and there are always much more easily won meals at ground level tbh  :ohmy:

Putting it in the fridge seems a bit complicated!  Also, when I left mine for the leaves to go yellow, it ended up flowering really late the following year.  Now I keep feeding and watering mine until about the end of July, then stick it in the greenhouse & don't feed or water.  Tidy it up & repot in fresh compost in November & bring back indoors.
