I've had an amaryllis bulb in a pot for about 5 years now and the bulb hasn't been doing much for, I reckon, over 6 months. When should I consider getting rid of it? Could it have run its course?

To clarify, do you mean Hippeastrum? - most cultivars sold as "amaryllis" are actually Hippeastrum. Historically botanists confused the two genera. – winwaed Dec 6 '11 at 13:41
Here in central North Carolina they can be planted outside. – ncmathsadist Dec 15 '11 at 0:55

I would re-pot it and fertilize it and keep it moist for a while, and if nothing happened in a couple of months, I would get rid of it.
