Amaryllis Mojito bulbs (Hippeastrum) are ideal for indoor gardeners looking for a dramatic, high-impact seasonal display during the colder months. These bulbs are prized for their massive, vibrant trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom reliably within 6 to 10 weeks of planting, providing a tropical splash of color in any home; however, growers must exercise patience with initial watering to prevent bulb rot before active growth begins.

Plant the bulb so that one-third of it remains exposed above the surface of the potting mix.
For indoor flowering, plant your bulbs between October and January.
Yes, but only after the frost risk has passed. Place it in a sheltered, frost-free location for the summer.
Yes, once the flowers fade, continue to water and use a balanced liquid fertilizer to help the bulb store energy for future blooms.
While it varies by environment, Amaryllis blooms typically remain vibrant for several weeks if kept in a cool, bright location.
No. The leaves are vital for the plant to absorb sunlight and store energy. Only remove the flower stalk, and keep the leaves until they naturally yellow and wither.
This is a sign of bulb rot caused by excess moisture. Reduce watering immediately and ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.
The plant is likely searching for light. Move it to a brighter location and rotate the pot every few days to encourage even growth.
The bulb may not have had a proper dormancy period or is lacking sufficient energy storage. Ensure you are feeding the plant during the green leaf phase after flowering.
To ensure success, use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. When planting, choose a container that is only slightly larger than the bulb itself, as Amaryllis prefer to be somewhat snug. Position the bulbs in bright, indirect light to protect the foliage from leaf scorch. After the flowers fade, cut the flower stalk back but leave the foliage intact; continue to water and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer regularly. This leaf-growth period is essential for the bulb to photosynthesize and store energy for next year. Once the danger of frost has passed, you may move the plant to a sheltered, outdoor area for the summer, but remember to bring it back inside before temperatures drop.
