How to save seeds of hyacinth

Hyacinthus seeds introduction

Hyacinth has seeds. It takes about 3-4 years for hyacinth seeds to grow and bloom after being planted. Hyacinth seeds are black. Hyacinth will form fruits after flowering, and can be harvested after its fruits are ripe.

How to save seeds of hyacinth

The seeds of hyacinth mainly grow inside the top fruit. When the hyacinth grows up, it will bloom and set seeds. It is necessary to wait until the seeds are mature before harvesting. If harvested too early, the seeds will not mature. If harvested too late, the seeds will easily scatter.

If hyacinths are grown indoors and there are no insects to pollinate, you must ensure that the maintenance environment is ventilated and pollinate through wind pollination. Continue to maintain the hyacinths after the flowers fade. Seeds will form on the flower arrows. Harvest the seeds after the seed pods crack and sow them as soon as they are harvested.

Hyacinthus seed propagation

Hyacinth seeds can be planted, and generally they will bloom about 3 years after planting. Planting should be done in autumn when the climate is suitable and the survival rate is higher. Note that after selecting the seeds, they should be soaked in clean water for three or four hours so that they can germinate faster.

How to plant hyacinth seeds

1. Autumn seed selection

Autumn is the best time to sow hyacinths every year. The survival rate of hyacinths planted in autumn is the highest. When sowing hyacinths, you first need to prepare some plump hyacinth seeds. You can soak the seeds in clean water for 3 to 4 hours. This will make the seeds easier to germinate and increase the success rate of sowing.

2. Choose the soil

Although the planting method of hyacinth is very simple, the seeds of hyacinth have relatively high requirements for the soil. Usually, it is necessary to mix soil and river sand evenly, and add some bone meal or organic fertilizer as the base fertilizer of the matrix so that the seeds can get sufficient nutrients and promote the rapid germination of hyacinth.

3. Seed sowing

First, you need to scatter the hyacinth seeds on the soil and cover them with a 1 cm thick layer of soil to prevent the seeds from being blown away by the wind. If the temperature is too low, you can cover the potted plants with a layer of plastic film. You need to tear off the plastic film every 2 to 3 days to allow the seeds to breathe in the potting soil. It will take about half a month for them to germinate.

4. Planting management

After each planting of hyacinth, the soil needs to be loosened appropriately and watered immediately. This will allow the hyacinth seeds to germinate quickly. During the seed germination process, it is best to control the temperature at 20℃. Only at this temperature can the seeds germinate quickly.
