In our busy lives, we must always pursue a little sentimentality to continuously enrich our lives and add more meaning to it. Here's a small suggestion from us: grow a pot of hyacinth. It's the perfect season for hyacinth growth now, and it will bloom just in time for the New Year. You don't need too many tools; just a transparent cup will do. The cup should not be too large and should be chosen according to the size of the hyacinth bulb, ideally able to support the bulb.
Hyacinth hydroponics: You must have seen people around you growing hyacinth. The occasions where hyacinth appears are mostly in offices. When buying hyacinth, we usually come with a special bottle for growing hyacinth, which is just right. When going out, pick up a few small stones, wash them clean in water, and put them in the vase. When adding water, be careful not to add too much, and never let it overflow the bulb, as it easily rots. The water surface should be about three to four centimeters away from the bulb, as transpiration will help the hyacinth roots grow faster.
Hydroponic water addition and water change: When the roots of hyacinth have not grown out yet, you can change the water every two to three days. When the roots grow to about three to four centimeters, it is recommended to change the water less frequently to prevent the roots from being injured during water change. The water in the bottle will continuously evaporate, and when the water level drops significantly, add a little water. Once the roots are well-grown, do not change the water. Never take the entire bulb out, as the roots are long and it's easy to damage them. Just slightly lift it and pour water from the side gap.
Hyacinth soil cultivation method
Splitting method: Every summer, from June to July, manually separate the bulbs, which means separating the daughter bulbs from the mother bulbs. The mother bulbs are planted in autumn or winter, and they will bloom in two months. Under suitable temperatures, daughter bulbs need three years to bloom. If you want to propagate yourself, the process is麻烦, so it's better to buy directly from the flower market, which is convenient and easy to start.
How to cultivate hyacinth in winter for the best results
Selection: All the nutrients of hyacinth are stored in the scales. When buying hyacinth, choose bulbs with large scales, bright colors, and firm to the touch. Don't buy bulbs that have been bitten by insects. After buying, it is recommended to soak them in a fungicide solution or potassium permanganate solution for a while to disinfect, then dry naturally, store in the refrigerator for a week, and then take them out to place in a shady place for a few days before planting.
Potted hyacinth soil cultivation: Some flower enthusiasts prefer to grow hyacinth in soil. For the soil, you need to prepare: decomposed leaf soil + fine sand + a small amount of fungicide, and mix the soil thoroughly. The mouth of the pot should be no more than 15 centimeters in diameter and can accommodate two bulbs. It is recommended to use a rectangular pot, which is the type of pot used for growing vegetables on the balcony.
After planting in the soil, sprinkle a thin layer of soil on the surface. When the hyacinth sprout grows to 10 centimeters, you can use your hand or a chopstick to remove the soil around the sprout to allow full sunlight. Hyacinth planted in pots from October to November will bloom in February or March. (It is recommended to start planting now, as it will bloom just in time for the New Year)
Later-stage maintenance: For water-grown hyacinth, the distance between the water and the bulb should be about three to four centimeters, allowing the roots to breathe fresh air and receive the benefits of water evaporation. If you place it on your office desk, it is recommended to put it in the sun every day to promote blooming. Flower enthusiasts, remember to click to follow for daily sharing of flower care knowledge.
