 My potted amaryllis bloomed for 10 straight years. For the last three
it's been only sending up leaves. The bulb had shrunk considerably but
has grown much larger in these last 3 years.
 What should I do to get it to bloom?

Dear Barbara,
 Be sure that the bulb has a long dormancy period from the end of the
summer onwards (at least until December) Repot before you start to water
again and  shake out all the soils and  remains of the old scales etc
and give it a new start.
Good luck
