When to plant hyacinth (hydroponic and soil cultivation methods)

1. When to plant

We are currently relying on imports from the Netherlands. The planting time is generally from September to October, for the northern region. At this time, the flowering time is generally at the end of January of the following year. If you can delay it a little longer, it will just catch up with the Spring Festival. Due to climatic reasons in the southern region, the temperature is still relatively high during this period, so it cannot be planted immediately. Therefore, it can be delayed a little, and November is more suitable.

2. Hydroponic and soil cultivation methods

1. Hydroponics: Prepare a transparent glass container, select a bulb in good growth condition, put it in, and then add water. The water level cannot submerge the bottom of the bulb, so that the roots can just touch the water surface. This will allow the roots to fully absorb O2 and promote root growth. Keep the temperature at 17-20 degrees Celsius and keep the water clean at all times to better promote growth.

2. Soil cultivation: Select well-grown bulbs and plant them in loose loam. You can add perlite and coarse sand to mix. One third of the top of the bulb needs to be above the soil for growth to be beneficial. After planting, place it in a lighted place and keep the soil in the pot moist.
