The Carbeth Plants Amaryllis Mojito bulbs are ideal for indoor gardeners looking for reliable, high-impact winter blooms to brighten up their homes during the colder months. These Hippeastrum bulbs offer a dramatic splash of color with large, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom just weeks after planting; however, they require a sunny, warm location to thrive and reach their full flowering potential.

Water sparingly until growth appears, then maintain consistent moisture without leaving the bulb in standing water.

A sturdy pot with drainage holes that is just an inch or two wider than the diameter of the bulb.
Yes, Hippeastrum bulbs contain compounds that can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs.
Ensure the bulb is in a warm enough location; move to a spot with consistent temperatures above 20°C.
The plant is likely searching for light; rotate the pot daily and consider providing a stake for extra support.
This could indicate overwatering. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out completely before watering again.
To begin, select a pot that is only slightly larger than the bulb itself, as Amaryllis prefer to be somewhat snug. Plant the bulb so that the top third is exposed above the soil line. Use a standard, well-draining potting mix to ensure the roots do not sit in stagnant water. Once leaves appear, move the plant to a warm, brightly lit area and maintain consistent moisture. After the flowers fade, cut the stalk back to the neck of the bulb, but allow the foliage to continue growing throughout the spring and summer. During this time, feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer to build energy for next year’s show.
