I have many amaryllis bulbs and have been growing them for 30 some years. You can divide the bulbs any time that they are not in full growth. Meaning when they are leafed out.
You can do it now before the scapes get any taller so that you do not break them off, or better yet in fall when the go dormant. Gently pry the bulbs apart leaving as much of the new roots as possible. Check the bottom of the bulb (the root plate). If it is overly thick then just slice it off to 1/8" and replant it. This will renew it's ability to create new roots. Many times a bulb will die from the root plate being too thick and not being able to regenerate new roots.
Gook Luck!
