Choose the right planting timeThe planting time of hyacinths in Guangdong is generally chosen in autumn every year, from September to November. During this period, the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to the growth and flowering of hyacinths.
Soil selection and preparationHyacinths are not strict with soil, but it is best to have sandy soil that is well-drained, fertile, and loose. In the Guangdong region, you can choose soil made by mixing deciduous leaves, garden soil, and river sand in a certain proportion. Before planting, the soil needs to be deeply turned over and a moderate amount of organic fertilizer should be applied to improve soil fertility.
Planting methods1. Planting depth: The planting depth of hyacinths is generally 2-3 times the diameter of the bulbs. Place the bulbs in the planting holes so that the top of the bulbs is level with the soil surface.
2. Planting spacing: The planting spacing of hyacinths is generally 15-20 centimeters, which is beneficial for plant growth and ventilation.
3. Watering: After planting, water thoroughly and keep the soil moist.
Maintenance management1. Watering: Hyacinths prefer a humid environment but dislike waterlogging. During the growing period, keep the soil moist. In the hot and rainy summer, pay attention to drainage to prevent root rot.
2. Fertilization: During the growing period of hyacinths, apply a thin organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer every 15 days to provide sufficient nutrition.
3. Pruning: In the process of hyacinth growth, prune the withered leaves in time to keep the plants ventilated and well-lit.
4. Pest and disease control: Hyacinths are susceptible to pest and disease attacks. If pests and diseases are found, take measures to control them in a timely manner.
Harvesting and propagationThe blooming period of hyacinths is generally in spring, from March to May. After the flowers wither, the bulbs can be harvested. After harvesting, dry the bulbs and store them in a cool and well-ventilated place.
The propagation of hyacinths mainly uses bulb division. Before planting, cut the bulbs, leaving 2-3 buds in each bulb, and then plant them.
