I have 6 amaryllis bulb shoots attached to my huge amaryllis bulb will it be too much for it to handle?

No it isn't because it would not make that many amaryllis shoots if it wasn't able to handle them.

No if you live in an area where you can leave them in the ground the clumps get bigger and bigger, I saw some flowering last week (in Australia - spring here) and the one clump would have had 12 flowers I have never seen so many in one clump, so close they obviously came from the original bulb.
Reply:The little bulbs attached are called cormels. They can stay on or you can remove some and transplant them, but it will probably take another season to do anything spectacular.
Reply:No. Just stake them . Fertilize with a high phosphorus fertilizer (the middle number), such as bulb food, or African violet food.
