Hi I know that the Mojito can go dormant in cooler climates but I don't know about your zone (10), It seems like they wouldn't go dormant there. I have mine in the greenhouse right now because I don't want them to die back. I am in zone 9a but near the coast but we do get a few freezes here. I might check the bulbs on your Mojito to make sure nothing is eating it or that it doesn't have any rot on it. I have had different colocasias and alocasias decline seemingly for no reason and later found that the bulb under the soil was rotting. Fire ants here seem to like to eat the bulbs as well grrr.
