When do hyacinths bloom?
Today, I will introduce to you the blooming time of hyacinths and a brief introduction to the flowering period of hyacinths. Let's get into the details.
Although hyacinths are herbaceous bulbous plants, they can bloom and are very ornamental after flowering. They can also emit a captivating fragrance, providing a certain degree of fatigue relief. However, many people may not know when hyacinths bloom, making it difficult to see them flowering during cultivation. So, how should you handle hyacinths after they bloom? Let's find out together.
【One, When do hyacinths bloom?】
The blooming time of hyacinths varies due to different growing environments, which can affect the normal flowering of the plant. However, the difference is not significant, so most hyacinths cultivated at home will bloom around February. But the flowering period is not long, only two months, and they usually wither after April.
If grown in soil, they can bloom again the following year, provided that fertilization is done during the cultivation process. If grown in water, it's not as meaningful, and the length of the flowering period depends on the ambient temperature. In a warm room, it may bloom within two weeks. Placing it in a cooler place after flowering can extend the blooming period.
【Two, How to handle hyacinths after they bloom】
For hyacinths grown in soil, after flowering, they can be maintained normally until the leaves wither, then stop watering and place them in a cool place. They can sprout and bloom again the following year. Of course, you can also dig up the bulb after withering, trim the roots properly, wrap it in newspaper, and place it in a cool and well-ventilated area.
However, most hobbyists throw away the hyacinth bulbs after flowering and the leaves have withered. You can actually keep the bulb, and it can revive the following year. For hyacinths grown in water, after the flowers fade and the leaves wither, pour out the water, cut off the leaves and roots, let the bulbous roots air-dry, wrap the "bulbs" in newspaper, and place them in a dry place. Take them out around the beginning of December and continue to care for them as usual.
【Three, Precautions after hyacinths bloom】
<1. Need sufficient sunlight>
Hyacinths need a lot of sunlight after blooming and should be placed outdoors or in a sunny location, with at least four to five hours of sunlight exposure every day. If placed indoors without sunlight, they will wither quickly.
<2. Regular fertilization is required>
Nutrition is essential, and the nutrition provided by water cultivation is not enough. Even if buried in soil after flowering, the roots may break, and even if they don't, it's hard to adapt to the soil. Additionally, the nutrition in potting is also insufficient. In ground cultivation, the root system can be over 50 centimeters long, so it's necessary to add sufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to the soil. After sprouting, apply nitrogen fertilizer a few times, and after flowering, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers several times until the leaves turn yellow.
<Conclusion>
Through the detailed introduction above, I believe everyone now knows when hyacinths bloom. Generally, hyacinths bloom in February, and the flowering period usually lasts for two months. Do not discard the plant after the hyacinth flowers fade, as it can be planted again the following year. Now you know how to handle hyacinths after they bloom.
