Jeff--YES!
That is how they grow. I always pit some thin stakes around the edge of the pot
and tie a green string all around it to support the leaves.

In my big pot--where there are 5 bulbs--I put a peony ring around them.

Many and healthy leaves are good. They will be able to return a lot of
nutrients to the bulb for next year's bloom as they wither.
When you put your Amaryllis outside--put them in full sum, feed and water them
to grow more leaves.
This is where I am a bit negligent...the feeding mostly.

1--This is from last March, 2014. look at all the leaves and the peony ring (legs cut shorter)
to hold them all up.
This pot, and all the same bulbs , is almost 30 years old.

2--I just brought all the pots upstairs. They are on my coffee table--starting to really grow.
