Can hyacinth be grown hydroponically?

Hyacinth can be grown hydroponically. Both hydroponics and soil cultivation have their own advantages. For example, there is no need to worry about root rot when growing in soil, while hydroponics is cleaner and saves a lot of steps such as watering, fertilizing, and weeding, so maintenance is slightly easier.

Hyacinth hydroponic cultivation methods and key points

1. Choose a container

It is best to use transparent containers for hydroponic hyacinths, such as ordinary glass bottles. In addition, clean culture water must be provided, and the container must be disinfected before use.

2. Carry out hydroponics

Put some clean water in a container, place the hyacinth bulb 5 cm away from the bottle mouth, let it immerse in the water, place it in the sun for maintenance, and put a piece of charcoal in the water to prevent odor.

Precautions for growing hyacinth in water

1. When hydroponically cultivating hyacinths, be sure to maintain good ventilation indoors. Good ventilation will increase the oxygen content in the water, which is more conducive to the growth of the plants.

2. There is no need to fertilize hyacinths grown in water. If properly cared for, they will bloom in the second year. After the flowers wither, you can take them out with the roots and plant them in potting soil.
