Cultivating hyacinth with a bit of "trick" makes it bloom every year, it's beautiful
It's the end of autumn again, which is the season when hyacinths are widely available in the market. Hyacinths are inexpensive, with a bulb costing just a few dollars, making them very suitable for home cultivation. Many flower enthusiasts choose to hydroponically cultivate hyacinths. However, hyacinths can also be cultivated with soil. When cultivated with soil, the bulb can grow after the first blooming year and still bloom in the second year. If hydroponically cultivated, it may cause the bulb to shrink one or even two rings after blooming this year, and it will not bloom in the second year. Generally, the bulbs are thrown away after hydroponic cultivation. Today, let's talk about how to cultivate hyacinths with soil.
Firstly, we need to peel off the outer skin of the hyacinth bulb, remove all the dry skin, and clean the rotting parts with a sharp knife. Then, trim the dried roots at the bottom of the bulb and soak the entire bulb, with the芽 points exposed, in a solution of carbendazim. If carbendazim is not available, potassium permanganate can be used instead. Soak for about an hour to allow the wounds to absorb the fungicide components and prevent further rotting when planted in soil. After soaking, place it in a well-ventilated area with scattered light to dry. Generally, when the outer skin is completely dry without any moisture, we can proceed with planting.
When cultivating hyacinths with soil, the soil should have good breathability. Many types of commercial nutrient soil can be used directly. If the ventilation in your room is poor, you can mix 30-50% of granular soil, such as volcanic rock or river sand. Add a layer of soil and a layer of base fertilizer at the bottom when planting. The base fertilizer can be well-rotted sheep manure, cow manure, or slow-release fertilizer. Choose a multi-element fertilizer if possible. Then cover with another layer of soil and place the bulbs evenly in the pot. Three bulbs in a 20 cm pot is very suitable. Cover the bulbs with soil, about 3-5 cm deep, making sure not to expose the bulbs. This will slow down the bulb growth. After planting, water thoroughly and place it in a well-lit area to allow the surface moisture of the soil to evaporate. When the soil surface is not very wet, move it to an area with scattered light, which can be indoors. After planting, the plant will first grow its roots, and as the roots reach the bottom of the pot, new roots will appear. After some time, it will grow buds.
Hyacinth bulbs will first grow roots in a completely dark environment and then grow new buds. Remember this point. During the stage of root and leaf growth, water the soil when it is half-dry. You can insert a bamboo stick halfway into the soil and check it frequently. After watering thoroughly, follow the same procedure and let the soil surface dry quickly. When the new buds are about to break through the soil, place them in the sunniest spot. It takes about a month from planting to growing new buds, so be patient. If you follow the planting method as described by Xiaoqi, the bulbs will not rot. Each time you water, you can add some root stimulator to the water or mix a little carbendazim to prevent root rot and promote rapid root growth. Once it has fully grown and developed a few leaves, the flower spike will appear and bloom.
Hyacinth hydroponic bloom duration
Cultivating hyacinths is very simple. After sprouting, expose them to more light and choose fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content, as well as other elements. Avoid using pure potassium dihydrogen phosphate, as it can cause a deficiency of other elements. Apply fertilizers 1-2 times a month. As long as the roots are healthy, water the soil when it's almost dry. This way, your hyacinth will quickly grow a flower spike and bloom. After blooming, cut off the flower spike and continue normal care. Do not cut the leaves, as they can perform photosynthesis. Continue fertilizing, using fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium to promote rapid bulb growth and enlargement. This is the key to successfully cultivating hyacinths.
Hyacinths are very easy to grow, but hydroponic cultivation can lead to non-blooming in the second year. If you follow Xiaoqi's method of cultivating with soil, it will bloom in the second year. In summer, the leaves will dry up and enter dormancy. You can either leave the bulbs in the soil without watering or remove them. Plant them again in autumn and they will bloom again. Have you learned the trick to cultivating hyacinths?
The above sharing on the bloom duration of hydroponically cultivated hyacinths and the related hydroponic diagram is for reference by green plant enthusiasts. It is hoped that it can solve your problems in green plant and flower management.
