Can the lateral buds of hyacinth be divided?

1. Can the plant be divided?

It is not recommended to divide the side shoots of hyacinth. Because its nutrients are provided by the bulbs, so it can grow and bloom smoothly. If you want to divide the plant, you have to cut the bulb, which will damage the mother plant and may lead to insufficient nutrients and failure to bloom. In addition, even if the bulbs are divided and planted, they may not survive, so they cannot be divided.

2. Treatment methods after growing side buds

1. Break them all off: After it grows side buds, you can choose to break them off directly with your hands. Because the side buds will absorb nutrients and compete with the bulbs for nutrients, it will seriously affect flowering and growth.

2. Appropriate preservation: If you have rich experience in maintenance and are growing the plant in soil, you can choose to continue cultivating it. However, you should also break off some of them, leaving only one or two that are growing well. If you provide enough nutrients during the later maintenance, it is possible that two or three flowers will bloom on one bulb, which is more beautiful.
