How to hydroponically grow hyacinth for beginners
The editor brings you some basic experience on how to hydroponically grow hyacinth for beginners and the steps for hydroponic cultivation. Let's take a look together!
1. Choose healthy and plump bulbs with no skin damage. After purchasing, peel off the outer skin to expose the white bulb inside.
2. Select a matching glass container that can hold the bulb at the top, support the root plate at the thin neck in the middle, and provide nutrients for the roots at the bottom.
3. Place the purchased bulbs in the container, pour in water to just below the root plate, allowing the bulb's root plate to slightly touch the water or have a bit of space. Never fill the water to the top, submerging the bottom of the bulb, as the roots need to be able to breathe.
4. After handling, place it in a dark place, cover the bottle, and control the room temperature between 5-10℃. This promotes root germination, which usually takes about 20 days.
5. Once the hyacinth has rooted and the leaf buds have emerged, they can perform photosynthesis. At this point, they should be placed in the sun for photosynthesis. Initially, expose them to sunlight for 1-2 hours a day, gradually increasing to 7-8 hours. Moderate sunlight is beneficial for the hydroponic growth of hyacinth and speeds up flowering.

6. After rooting, the bottle can be moved to a scattered light environment, keeping the temperature above 10℃. Change the water every 2-3 days to keep it clean and ensure the water reaches the roots. When the roots have fully grown, extend the water change interval to once every half a month to twenty days. Add a few drops of nutrient solution to the water changes to provide adequate nutrients for the hyacinth.
7. After the flowers fade, cut off the flower stem, plant it in the soil to let the bulb absorb nutrients, and store it for the winter. If the bulbs are stored well, they can still bloom the next year, but the flowers will be smaller and less nutritious. It is recommended to purchase new ones.
Overall, hydroponic cultivation of hyacinth is clean and convenient, and it roots easily. Planting in autumn and winter allows for blooming in spring, which is very beautiful.
