Amaryllis bloom more that once?

My Amaryllis bloomed over Christmas, but the flowers quickly died....the other leafy things are still there, is it going to bloom again?

Amaryllis bloom more that once?
Next year, maybe. Keep it in a sunny spot, and fertilize it once a month. Let it go dormant (cut back on water) in August or September, put it in a cool dark place for a couple months, then bring it back out, and put in a sunny window with water.





I put mine directly in the ground once danger of frost is passed. That way, it can feed on the nutrients directly in the soil (I'm not the best at remembering to water and fertilize houseplants). The leaves will all die when it's transplanted outside, but then it will grow a new set of strong deep green leaves.
