How to take care of newly bought hyacinths

1. How to deal with hyacinths after buying them

You need to first cut off the dry epidermis and excess roots, then sterilize and disinfect the roots with potassium permanganate solution, and take them out after about a quarter of an hour. Then let the water dry in the shade and transplant it into a pot after about a day.

2. How to cultivate the newly bought hyacinth

1. Temperature: Hyacinths in flower shops are generally grown in indoor greenhouses, so it is best to grow them indoors right after you buy them to reduce environmental changes. The indoor temperature is best controlled at 10-18 degrees Celsius. After about half a month, it will gradually adapt and resume its growth rate.

2. Watering: Don’t rush to water the newly purchased hyacinths because they have a slow metabolism. However, since it is a species that prefers moisture, the soil must not be too dry, and it can be watered thoroughly for the first time in about 4 days. But pay attention to drainage to avoid waterlogging that may cause root rot and death.

3. Repotting: Hyacinths cannot be repotted immediately after purchase. If you want to change it to a larger or better-looking pot, you can first clean up the debris in the soil and then replace it when you water it for the first time.
