I bought a bulb that came in a box with a disk of soil and it has grown to 31 inches tall! It is bending over and we used a stake to try and tie it up but the stick is too short. How deep of a pot should it be in and when do they begin to bloom?

Check out this site from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. http://lancaster.unl.edu/hort/Articles/2002/amaryllis.shtml It has some very good information about caring for Amaryllis, and should help you avoid the common problem with not getting repeat bloom beyond the first year.
If properly cared for, they should bloom within 4-6 weeks after being potted. And remember, they require TONS of light! Without adequate light, the leaves get long and floppy, and it won't bloom. Sounds like that may be the problem with yours.
