The Carbeth Plants Amaryllis Mojito bulb is ideal for indoor gardeners looking for a dramatic, winter-blooming centerpiece. This striking Hippeastrum variety offers large, trumpet-shaped blooms that provide a bold splash of color during the colder months, typically flowering within 6 to 10 weeks of planting. While it delivers impressive results for minimal effort, users should note that the bulb requires a specific dormant period to ensure it will bloom again in subsequent seasons.

For optimal winter displays, plant the bulbs between October and January.
The bulb should be planted so that the top one-third is left exposed above the soil surface.
Water sparingly until growth appears, then gradually increase watering as the stem develops.
Yes, but only during the frost-free summer months; they must be kept in a sheltered, frost-free area.
Remove the spent flowers, but keep the foliage intact and continue to water and feed the plant to help the bulb store energy.
This is normal if it occurs as the plant enters its natural resting or dormant phase.
Decrease watering frequency immediately and ensure the potting mix is well-draining; avoid getting water on the neck of the bulb.
Rotate the pot regularly toward the light source to encourage straight growth, or provide a decorative stake for support if the bloom is particularly heavy.
The bulb likely did not receive a proper dormant period or sufficient fertilization during its growth phase after the initial blooming.
For successful setup, choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the bulb itself, as Amaryllis prefer a snug fit. Always use a high-quality, well-draining potting medium to prevent moisture from pooling around the base of the bulb, which can lead to rot. If you choose to move your plant outdoors in the summer, ensure it is placed in a spot protected from direct, harsh sun and heavy rain. Always bring the plant indoors well before the first frost, as the bulb cannot tolerate freezing temperatures. During the resting phase in autumn, reduce water significantly and move the pot to a cool, dark location to trigger the dormant period necessary for the following winter's cycle.
