soggy amaryllis bulb

I've twice tried to send a message about my amaryllis but the posting has
been rejected twice. The reason given was that the identical message had
been received by me or someone else. This is not true so I'm trying again
with a different subject.

Here goes: My potted amaryllis which hadn't had a flower stalk in years is
blooming now and is spectacular. I'd been watering the leaves for all those
years, noticing that the bulb had shrunk. By this year the bulb was much
larger and I replaced the soil with pure compost.

But I've been noticing, for the past week, that the bulb looks a bit soggy
on the outside. Should I stop watering until the flowers finish or should I
just water less?
