What to do when the hyacinth flowers fade
Do you know these? An introduction to the bulbous flower hyacinth, what to do when the hyacinth flowers fade. Next, the editor will provide you with detailed answers.
After several months of care, many flower enthusiasts' hyacinths have bloomed. So, what should we do when the hyacinth flowers fade? How to deal with it? I have written many articles about the post-bloom care of hyacinths, and the overall approach is the same. Here I will organize the information again with flower enthusiasts.
Based on several years of understanding hyacinths, I have summarized the operations we can perform after the hyacinth flowers fade (WeChat public account:). Before discussing, we also need to understand hyacinths. Hyacinths are imported bulbous plants that cannot be perfectly propagated domestically. Therefore, the hyacinths we care for are generally disposable. After flowering in the first year, they are not cared for in the second year. However, it is not absolutely certain that they will not bloom in the second year. It's just that the second-year hyacinth flowers are sparse and not as good as the first year. So, whether to discard or keep the hyacinth of the current year can be self-evaluated by the flower enthusiasts.
If you plan to discard the hyacinth and buy new bulbs next year, after the hyacinth flowers fade, cut off the flower spike, and keep it as an ornamental leaf plant for a period. When the weather gets hot, the leaves will gradually wither and can be discarded.
For flower enthusiasts who plan to continue caring for the plant in the second year, after the flowers fade, cut off the flower spike and then continue normal care. When the weather gets hot, the hyacinth leaves will start to wither. When they are almost completely withered, you can stop watering, dig up the hyacinth, wrap it with newspaper, and store it in a cool and ventilated place. It can be planted again in October to November of the following year.
Here it should be mentioned that before storing, it is best to do a simple screening of the hyacinth, because after a year of flowering, many hyacinth bulbs have become very small, especially those hydroponically grown, with the bulbs looking very shriveled. We don't need to save such bulbs. It's better to save relatively larger bulbs.
Another situation is hydroponically grown hyacinths. The situation for hydroponic and soil-grown ones is actually similar. Flower enthusiasts should also do a simple screening.
In summary, the reblooming situation for hyacinths is generally not good, but it can rebloom.
