How to grow hyacinth in winter

1. Soil culture

Soil cultivation is divided into potted planting and ground planting. Potted plants are usually planted in September, while ground plants are usually sown in the second half of October. So winter is usually not long after it is planted.

1. Temperature

I believe this is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, because many flowers will be harmed by low temperatures in winter. However, for hyacinth, it is not a difficult problem to overcome.

It is native to the Netherlands and has a certain tolerance to low temperatures. Generally, it will have grown roots before winter and will begin to sprout in January and February. During this stage, we just need to keep the temperature between 2℃-10℃.

Be careful not to put it in a room that is too warm, otherwise it will not have time to sprout, and the mature plant that grows will most likely have a pinched arrow.

2. Lighting

It does not require too strong light in winter. It is best to place it in a place where it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight or wrap it with a layer of newspaper for shade, and wait until it sprouts before accepting sunlight.

3. Watering

There is no need to water it too much before it sprouts, just wait until the culture soil is dry before watering. After the buds appear, water them in time to ensure that the culture soil is moist.

2. Hydroponics

1. Temperature

Hydroponics requires a slightly higher temperature than soil cultivation, about 10℃-15℃.

In addition, special attention should be paid to not let the temperature drop below 0℃, otherwise the water will freeze and freeze its roots.

2. Lighting

When hydroponically cultivated, a certain amount of light can be given and there is no need to avoid light specifically.

3. Change the water

In winter, its roots have just grown out and are still very fragile. We should not change the water frequently to avoid damaging the roots when changing the water. In addition, be careful to protect its root system when replacing it.
