How to care for newly bought grape hyacinths

1. Soil

After buying grape hyacinth, you should first check its potting soil to see if there are any lumps or if it is dry and hard and does not permeate water. If so, replace the soil in time. You can prepare new soil by mixing leaf mold and sandy loam. This kind of soil is highly fertile and has good water permeability, making it very suitable for its growth.

2. Environment

It likes to grow in places with plenty of light, but it should be avoided from direct sunlight. It is best placed in places such as the living room. Plenty of sunlight can accelerate its growth and maintain good physiological activity. It likes a mild environment and can adapt and grow well in an environment of about 15-30℃. It is relatively cold-resistant, and you can take some insulation measures in winter to help it survive the winter and maintain growth.

3. Watering

Before the flowers wither, the frequency of watering should be controlled. Watering once every two days is sufficient. Make sure the soil in the pot is slightly moist, but no water can accumulate. After it withers, you can slow down the watering and its absorption will also become slow, just ensure that the soil is slightly moist.

4. Fertilization

It is not picky about fertilizer and general fertilizers can be used. If conditions permit, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be used, which can effectively promote its development and growth. Don't apply fertilizer in winter. During the growing period, you can use some additional fertilizer to promote its growth depending on the growth speed.

5. Hydroponics

It can also be cultivated using hydroponics. Add an appropriate amount of water into a glass to just cover the roots of the hyacinth. Add a little liquid fertilizer as base fertilizer to prepare the nutrient solution, or directly purchase the nutrient solution and add it. Then place it in a suitable location and carry out normal maintenance.
