Amaryllis Expand / Collapse

I got some Amaryllis last year which flowered beautifully. When the leaves died off I cut them to just above the top of the bulb and put them in a brown paper back to rest.  I have replanted them know as the leaves started to grow, there is no sign of any flowers on them yet but the leaves are huge. Is this normal? background

Sounds normal so far... flowering period is December onwards.

My understanding is that you should lower the water frequency to about once a week once the leaves appear to encourage flowering. Keep the temperature of the soil as constants (and not cold) as possible.

Its also advised to water from the bottom up, to help prevent the rotting of the bulb.
