One divides a bulb when it is dormant, so once it's done flowering and died back completely. Dig up the whole clump (be sure to dig widely enough around it to not cut any bulbs with your shovel.) Separate the bulbs and plant them with space between them so they have room to multiply. Amaryllis bulbs are planted 50% under soil & 50% on top, as yours are.

Little bulblets, if any,will take a year or more to flower; they will come up as leaves, feeding the bulbs, until the bulb reaches "critical mass".

Lucky duck, gets to plant amaryllis outside.
