How to grow hyacinths

1. Deal with old roots

After getting the bulbs, you must first remove the old roots, otherwise the roots will absorb a lot of water and cause root rot. But it should be noted that whether you cut or pull, you must not damage the root plate. Then soak it in the prepared disinfectant solution for 1 to 2 hours. Afterwards, you can take out the bulbs and put them in a ventilated place to dry. During this period, they should not be exposed to light.

2. Avoid light

Place the dried hyacinth bulbs in a bottle of water, but be sure not to let the root plate get wet during this period. Then wrap the entire body with a black plastic bag to protect it from light. This process takes 15 to 20 days, during which time you need to change the water every 5 days. After the roots grow, change the water again every 7 days. And keep the temperature between 9 and 10 degrees. In addition, when changing the water, be careful not to break its roots, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant.

3. Lighting

When it is growing leaves, it should be exposed to sunlight for more than 2 hours every day, so that the leaves can grow faster. Because hyacinth is afraid of cold, it must be given enough direct sunlight during the day, otherwise the plant will grow tall and not bloom. After that, when it reaches the flowering period, the lighting time needs to be increased, not less than 4 hours a day. The rest of the time can be kept indoors. It usually takes about two months from planting to flowering.
