There are not many flowers that can be appreciated in winter, but some always stand out. Generally, bulb flowers are the ones that bloom in winter, and Hyacinth is one of them. Not only does it have beautiful flowers, but also bright colors. Whether grown in soil or water, it is suitable. Having one at home during the New Year can fill the room with fragrance. Therefore, more and more flower enthusiasts are buying Hyacinth. Today, let's talk about the care of Hyacinth with everyone. Flower enthusiasts who are interested, please take a look.
Cultivating Hyacinth in soil
If the Hyacinth at home is cultivated in soil, several issues need special attention.
1. Soil
The soil for cultivating Hyacinth must have good water permeability and breathability, preferably slightly moist sandy soil. When planting, we can use a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, river sand, and vermiculite in the ratio of 3:2:2:1. It is best to add a little organic fertilizer to enhance the soil's fertility. Before planting the bulbs, it is best to disinfect the soil with carbendazim to ensure safety.
2. Planting
When choosing a pot, it is best to select a purple sand ceramic pot with good water permeability and breathability. The diameter of the pot should be about 10 centimeters wide, allowing for one bulb to be planted. If the diameter is 15 centimeters, two bulbs can be planted. After planting, cover the soil with about 10 centimeters. When the new shoots grow to about 10 centimeters, we can remove the 10 centimeters of soil to let the bulbs receive some sunlight.
3. Fertilization
In this season, with indoor temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, we can use some monopotassium phosphate solution to supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers for Hyacinth.
4. Water
Hyacinth prefers moist soil, and flower enthusiasts should ensure a humid environment for the soil. When the top layer of soil dries out, it's time to water. Although Hyacinth should not be left dry, it should also not be waterlogged.
5. Light
For Hyacinth to bloom, it needs to be placed in a sunny location. The more sunlight it gets, the earlier it will bloom. Ensuring sufficient sunlight, it is also necessary to rotate the pot every day to allow it to receive full sun.
Cultivating Hyacinth in water
In addition to soil cultivation, Hyacinth can also be grown in water. Water cultivation is cleaner, but there are still several aspects to pay attention to.
1. Changing water
Since it's water cultivation, we need to ensure the cleanliness of the water for Hyacinth. Change the water once a week in winter, but if flower enthusiasts often use nutrient solutions, change the water every five days to ensure good growth.
2. Cultivation method
When growing Hyacinth in water, make sure the water does not cover the bulb, leaving 1-2 centimeters of space. If the bulb is completely submerged, it can easily rot.
Water cultivation and soil cultivation methods for Hyacinth are different, but the requirements for sunlight and temperature range are the same. Just pay attention to the differences between the two methods.
