Default Amaryllis bulbs, bulblets and fertilizer

Cut off the bulblets as soon as they form.

Hi folks,

I hope someone out there has some suggestions.

I have some Amaryllis plants that I am trying to keep flowering and
some Amaryllis 'youngsters' that I started from seed about 5 years ago.

One of the adults has produced bublets that are now producing bulblets
themselves, but no blooms. One of my 'younsters' has even produced a
bulblet without ever flowering.

I have been using a 10-15-10 fertilizer.

Any suggestions on how to encourage to bulb to grow instead of
producing bulblets?
