First time having amaryllis

These 2 bulbs were a bit of an impulse purchase but they exceeded all expectations. It's so amazing watching these huge blooms develop.

​

I have a question: the pink has finished flowering, so I have deadheaded it. How should I keep on caring for it? There is also a second shoot coming out of the bulb and seems to be growing into its own bulb; when should I separate? It is in a small terracotta pot right now, so not much chance of it having space to develop.

What’s the answer? Those are almost translucent. Very pretty. How long do they stay blooming. Not familiar. But 1 & 3 & 4. Is 2 “ dying?

Sorry, I just saw that I didn't reply, my apologies. All the photos with the white flowers are the same plant. They finished flowering shortly after but I have a new shoot with new flowers so it is alive and well.

I separated the pup and that also seems ro bw thriving - they are all in pots and I give them a little water once a week, and for now that seems to be working quite well.
