I started with a couple of those boxed amaryllis that I received as Christmas presents. I planted the bulbs outside in the spring and they bloom in the summer. I dig them up in the Fall and store them dry in my garage over the winter.
Each year when I dig them up there are new small bulbs at the base of the large bulbs and they bloom after they are about a year old. Eventually I had so many that I was composting the smaller bulbs.
Maybe if you were just growing it indoors then it needed fertilizer during the growing season. Mine obtained whet they needed from my very fertile soil in my flower beds. I never did anything special for them and they bloomed beautifully, sometimes with 2 stalks of 4 flowers each per plant.
