Can hyacinth be hydroponically cultivated in winter?

Start time

Don’t worry about this. They can survive even if they are just planted in winter. The indoor environment without heating is generally not too cold, so you can keep them alive even in a room without air conditioning. However, it is best to plant them indoors rather than on the balcony, otherwise they will easily be frostbitten if the temperature drops suddenly at night.

Hydroponics steps

To place the prepared bottle steadily, it is usually better to choose one that is small at the top and large at the bottom, with the upper part being slightly larger than the bulb. Add an appropriate amount of water into the bottle, and make sure the water level does not reach the bottom, which is the best height.

You can choose to put a charcoal in the water to prevent the water from slowly becoming smelly. After the operation is completed, it is best to place it in a sunny place. This will help them grow.

Post-planting care

When the buds grow to about 5 cm, move them out of the sunlight and place them in a slightly darker place. After the roots have grown well, place them in a sunny location again and add water frequently. After the leaves and flower buds grow out, they only need one or two hours of sunlight a day so that the pedicels can be stronger. At the same time, the positions exposed to sunlight should not be the same every day, otherwise they will easily grow crooked. You don’t need to use fertilizer, but don’t throw away the flowers directly after they fade. Take out the roots and plant them in the soil. When the leaves wither, dig them up and put them away. You can continue planting next year.

Precautions

Don't place them near a heat source just because the winter is cold, which will extend the blooming period. Before the roots are fully grown, the room temperature does not need to be very high. After the roots are fully grown, they should be placed in a greenhouse.
