What to do after hyacinth is pinched by arrows

reason

Low temperature

Hyacinths generally need to bloom at temperatures above 17°C. If the temperature is too low and the inflorescence has already appeared, the flowers will show color and bloom under strong light conditions. The low temperature prevents the flower stems from extending, so the flower buds are sandwiched between the leaves, causing the arrow to be pinched.

Insufficient cooling time

If the cold treatment time is not enough, the flower stems will have difficulty extending when the flowers bloom. Frozen balls do not have this problem because the merchants have already handled it. Natural balls need a winter of natural cold treatment, but the cultivation environment of many flower lovers does not meet the requirements. The cold treatment time required for different varieties also varies.

Frequent peeling of old skin

Considering the beauty of hyacinths, many flower lovers may often peel off the old skin. It should be noted that the old skin has a protective effect on the bulb to prevent the outer skin from being scratched. It can not only block the invasion of bacteria, but also reduce water evaporation. In addition, the nutrients of hyacinth are stored in the scale leaves. After peeling off the old skin, the new scale leaves will age again, the bulb will easily become smaller, and the internal nutrients of the plant will be lost, which is also not conducive to flowering.

Treatment

Locked in the "small black room"

Using shading can encourage the unextended flower stems of hyacinth to grow taller, thus freeing them from the predicament of being pinched by leaves. However, this method may not be very effective for hyacinths that have already bloomed.

Adjustment and maintenance

Depending on the specific situation, appropriately increase the temperature of the growth environment; increase water and fertilizer appropriately, and avoid waterlogging; use diffuse light to appropriately supplement sunlight.
