Can hyacinth be grown indoors?

Hyacinth is a flower whose name is translated from Latin as a rain flower. It has such a name due to its love for excessive moisture, there is still an assumption that it is called so because of the flowering time of this plant in nature, namely in the spring during the rainy season.

Homeland of Hyacinth is Southeast Asia... In most cases, this bulbous flower is grown in gardens, but you can do it at home, however, caring for the plant in this case is slightly different.

Description and characteristics of indoor hyacinth, popular types

This extraordinarily beautiful plant attracts attention due to its colorful and bright flowers, similar to small bells, which are located on a fleshy peduncle in the form of a racemose inflorescence. Flowers can be either simple or double yellow, pink, blue, purple, blue or white.

Indoor hyacinth

Bright green, smooth and fleshy leaves, in the amount of 5 to 8 pieces, form a rosette sprouting from the bulb, from which the peduncle emerges. The flower reaches a height of 30 cm. The flowering of Hyacinth is accompanied by a delicate pleasant aroma.

There are many types of Hyacinth, among them: Ostara, Amethyst, Rosalia, Sunflower, La Victoire, Litvinova, Zakaispian, Arentina Arendsen.

But the most popular and common in home cultivation is Eastern hyacinth.

Distillation at home

Taking care of Hyacinth is not difficult, but some rules must be followed. The first rule is the choice of the bulbfrom which the flower will be grown. The size of the bulb must be at least 5 cm in diameter, it must be dense, not affected by rot, diseases and insects. The second rule is to create the necessary atmosphere for successful flower cultivation.

Choosing a pot and soil for planting bulbs

The Hyacinth dilution vessel should be medium in size and have drainage holes at the bottom. One container sits from 1 to 3 bulbs... They should not come into contact with each other and with the walls of the pot.

A drainage layer must be laid out at the bottom of the pot, for this you can use sand with a layer of about 2 cm.

The bulb is not completely placed in the soil, its top must not be covered. The substrate used is one that has a neutral acidity level, since high acidity is not suitable for the flower. To avoid decay of the bulb, the soil surface is also covered with sand.

Planting Hyacinth Bulbs

After planting the bulbs, they need to create a dormant period of about two months. The pot is placed in a dark, cool place, perhaps even in a refrigerator, the temperature should be + 5-7 degrees. Occasionally the soil needs to be watered to maintain constant moisture. During this time, the bulbs take root well and will give flower stalks in the future. After the bulbs are released on a couple of sheets, the flower is transferred to a bright place with a temperature of no higher than +15 degrees.

And only with the formation of inflorescences, the flowerpot is placed in a permanent place in which full care of the plant is carried out.

Leaving during flowering

The flowering period of the Hyacinth lasts on average about two weeks, during this period care is needed, thanks to which the flowering will be lush and longer.

Lighting

Hyacinth is very fond of light, he needs it at least 15 hours a day. If you place it in a place where there is not enough light, you need to additionally use artificial light sources. On hot summer days, the plant needs to be shaded to avoid direct sunlight.

Temperature

The best temperature for growing Hyacinth is + 20-22 degrees. It is not recommended to keep the flower close to heating devices. Drafts must also be avoided, as they can lead to the death of the flower.

Watering and spraying

The soil in the pot should always be slightly moist, this is especially important during the period of flowering, active growth and wintering. You should also avoid stagnant water, which can lead to rotting of the bulb and the development of fungal diseases. For this, water is poured from the sump immediately after watering. Another important point is the watering method itself: so that no matter what water falls on the bulb, in the axils of leaves and buds, water must be poured near the edge of the pot.

The water should be soft at room temperature, it is good to use rain or melt water, preheating it.

Watering the hyacinth correctly in a pot

It is not recommended to spray the flower, this is especially bad for its condition during the flowering period.

Top dressing

The plant needs frequent feeding, about twice a month. For this, any universal fertilizer for indoor bulbous plants is used. Water the flower before feeding.

Post-flowering care

Hyacinth, like all other flowering plants, fades over time. But in this case, its vital activity does not stop, but the care of the flower simply changes.

• First, the peduncle is cut off, the leaves remain, and flower care continues until they die off completely. After that, it is necessary to dry the bulbs and place the plant for a dormant period. To do this, the flower is removed from the pot, the roots are cleared of the ground, and the top of the plant is cut off at a distance of about one centimeter from the bulb.
• The bulb is sprayed with a disinfectant solution, for example Fundazole, to avoid infections and remove the upper unnecessary peel. Then the bulb is dried, at which time it must be periodically turned to dry completely.
• When the bulb is completely dry, you need to wrap it in paper or sawdust and place in a dark, dry place for 2-3 months, after which it can be planted again.

Hyacinth care video after flowering

Very often, flower growers adjust the flowering of Hyacinth to a certain time of the year, for example, to get an inflorescence on March 8, this should be done in October.For this, such manipulation is used as distillation - in this case, the bulbs are specially removed from a state of dormancy.

In this case, the planted bulbs are covered with a bag in which a hole is made so that the plant breathes. Further, the flower is grown, as in the usual planting of bulbs.

Reproduction methods

There are several ways to breed Hyacinth. Among them: reproduction by children, propagation by seeds, cutting out the bottom and notching the bottom... At home, the first method is most often used, since the rest are very lengthy and complex, they are used by breeders and professionals.

On average, a bulb can form 2-4 babies per year. They must be carefully separated from the mother bulb and planted in a separate container. If the baby is difficult to separate, then after a dormant period, the mother's bulb is planted with it and it is separated only after the next flowering of the Hyacinth.

With this method of reproduction, the plant blooms in 2-3 years.

Pruning

Pruning the peduncle is necessary after the end of flowering, because if after the flowers fruits are formed, this will draw all the strength from the flower. Same when the leaves dry, they are also cut off.

Diseases and pests

Most often, Hyacinth is resistant to all kinds of threats when grown at home, because during transplantation, the bulbs are treated with disinfectants. But sometimes hyacinth is threatened by such diseases and pests:

• Bacterial rot... There are many reasons for contracting this disease and different symptoms of its manifestation, for example, the appearance of black dots on the leaves, rotting of the bulb, drying out of the roots, etc. It is possible to cope with the disease only in industrial production, but at home it leads to the death of the flower. In this case, it is necessary to get rid of the plant and soil, and disinfect the pot.
• Insects... For example: aphids, ticks and others. You can get rid of them by spraying the flower with chemicals, but only until the flowering period.
• Physiological disorders... These are deformations of the peduncle, for example, curvature or irregular flowering, which appear in case of non-observance of the "distillation" regime, or rather the cooling period.

Conclusion

Thus, nthe problem of growing Hyacinth at home is not great, if you adhere to all the rules for caring for this flower, and also provide appropriate care for it during the dormant period. In this case, Hyacinth will delight with its beautiful and fragrant flowering.

Hyacinth is a bulbous plant that can be successfully grown both in the garden and at home. Therefore, many amateur flower growers want to grow this flower on their windowsill in order to admire it even in winter, during the cold season. Such a desire is quite feasible. However, for the successful cultivation of the hyacinth, it is necessary to create the appropriate conditions, as much as possible like garden ones, and provide it with proper care.

Preparing for growing hyacinth at home

To date, breeders have bred several dozen varieties of hyacinth. And most of them are suitable for home cultivation. But in order to grow a strong and beautiful flower, you need to properly prepare:

1. Bulb selection... First you need to select a suitable material for planting. It is recommended to use bulbs with a minimum diameter of 5 cm. Because it is easier to grow a full-fledged plant from a large bulb. A small bulb may discard leaves, but may not produce flowers, and care must be taken to ensure that it is firm and free of rot or damage. And immediately before planting, it is advisable to treat it with a disinfectant solution.
2. Pot selection... Then you need to choose the appropriate pot. It should be wide and shallow.The pot must have drainage holes.
3. Soil preparation... You can buy the soil or prepare it yourself. To do this, mix in equal proportions turf, compost, leafy soil, humus and add a small amount of sand and peat.

When growing hyacinth at home, there is one caveat - this flower cannot bloom for several years in a row. Flowering is stimulated by artificial forcing, which weakens the bulbs. Therefore, after 1-2 years, they need to be planted in the garden area so that they go through the recovery period.

Planting and caring for hyacinths indoors

After preparing the necessary materials, you can start planting the bulbs. Correct planting and caring for hyacinths indoors includes the following steps:

• A drainage layer is laid out at the bottom of the pot; expanded clay is well suited for these purposes.
• A small layer of soil is covered.
• Then a thin layer of fine sand is placed.
• Bulbs are placed on top of the sand. You can plant one bulb in a pot, or several, so that a whole bouquet is formed during flowering. In the latter case, the bulbs are laid out so that they do not come into contact with each other and with the pot (the optimal distance is 2-3 cm).
• The bulbs are gently pressed into the ground and covered with the remaining earth. From above, the soil can be sprinkled with a thin layer of sand to protect the planting material from decay.

The bulbs are not completely submerged in the soil; their tops must be left in the air.

A dormant period is now created for the plants so that the bulbs take root well. The pot is placed for 1.5-2.5 months in a dark and cool place, such as a basement. The air temperature in this room should be between +5 and +10 degrees. In the absence of a basement or cellar, flowers can be placed in the refrigerator. However, it is imperative to ensure that the temperature in it is at least 5 degrees Celsius. During this period, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the soil in order to prevent it from drying out.

A dormant period is necessary for the successful cultivation of hyacinths in indoor conditions. If the plant is brought out earlier “into the light”, it may still be weak, develop poorly and, as a result, not bloom. Overexposure in the dark is also not recommended. The plant will throw out the leaves, all the power will go into them, and as a result, the formation of buds will be delayed.

After the rooting of the bulbs, an artificial spring is arranged for the hyacinths, for this the flowers are moved into the house. Here hyacinths should be kept in a bright room with a recommended air temperature of + 10-15 degrees.

As soon as the plant begins to bloom, it is transferred to the desired room and placed away from the radiators. In order for the hyacinth to delight the owners for a long time with lush, luxurious flowers, the air temperature should be no higher than +20 degrees. In addition, it is necessary to exclude the existence of drafts and provide the plant with good lighting.

How to care for hyacinth at home?

To grow lush, beautiful flowers, you need to take care of them. How to care for a hyacinth at home so that it blooms as soon as possible and pleases the owners for a long time with beautiful flowers?

Hyacinth care is relatively simple, and includes three essential components:

• watering;
• good lighting;
• fertilizer.

Watering. The basis of hyacinth care in indoor conditions is competent watering. The ground must be moist, so it is necessary to carefully monitor so that it does not dry out, and water the plant in a timely manner. This requirement is important during growth, flowering and overwintering. However, stagnant water for this plant is also destructive and can provoke a fungal infection. Therefore, you need to make sure that excess water goes into the sump, and be sure to drain it from there.

During watering, you only need to moisten the soil, and make sure that water does not get on the buds, onion and in the leaf axils.To do this, it is recommended to pour water into the edge of the pot, or the pan.

Good lighting. From time to time it is necessary to turn the flower to the lighting in different directions. This contributes to the uniform growth of the plant. In the evening and on cloudy days, you can additionally illuminate the plant using fluorescent lamps. With a lack of lighting, the plant can wither, discard leaves and young buds.

Fertilizer. It is recommended to feed hyacinths 2 times a month. For this, special fertilizers are used, which are diluted according to the instructions.

Forcing hyacinths at home

A nice feature of hyacinth is the ability to combine its flowering with a certain period or holiday. For this, hyacinths are distilled at home. It is of three types:

• early - the bulbs are planted in October, and the hyacinth blooms by the New Year;
• medium - planting is carried out in November, and flowering falls at the end of January - beginning of February;
• late - the bulbs are planted in December - January and admire the flowers in March - April.

The period from planting to flowering averages 2.5–3 months.

For the safe forcing of hyacinths at home, the bulbs must go through several stages of preparation with a gradual decrease in air temperature. After digging, they should be stored for 2 weeks in a warm and humid place with an air temperature of + 28-30 degrees. Then for 2 weeks they are placed in a cool room with a temperature of + 22-25 degrees. Further, even colder conditions are created for 2 weeks - + 15-17 degrees. And after that, the bulbs are ready for planting in a pot.

What to do after hyacinth blooms?

Like all flowering plants, hyacinth fades over time. What to do with hyacinth after flowering at home? To keep him alive, it is necessary to cut the flower stalks and do not stop watering and fertilizing the plant until the leaves completely wither. At this time, the mother bulb is restored and can form daughter bulbs.

Then you need to remove the hyacinth from the ground, clean it of wilted leaves and put the bulb to dry for 2-3 days. If, after digging up the bulbs, the babies are already well developed, you can separate them. If they do not detach well, it is better not to touch them until next year. Since it is advisable not to use faded bulbs for re-distillation, they are transplanted to a garden plot. Planting is carried out in the fall, and next year they are already delighting the owners with flowers in the flowerbed.

To obtain bulbs that can be used for indoor cultivation, the plant is not allowed to bloom normally. The buds are cut off so that the bulb can recover. In the fall, they take it out of the ground, dry it, and again carry out the forcing procedure.

Reproduction of hyacinths at home

Hyacinth is propagated by babies (daughter bulbs), which are carefully detached from the adult bulb. Natural division occurs slowly, in one year the mother's bulb can form a maximum of 4 babies. Therefore, in floriculture, an artificial method of reproduction of hyacinths is used at home. To quickly get a large number of children, they practice special techniques - cutting and notching the bottom.

Before starting artificial propagation, the bulbs are treated with a 1% solution of potassium permanganate and dried at an air temperature of + 20-23 degrees for 2-3 days.

Cutting the bottom... This technique is carried out after a period of rest. With a teaspoon in the onions, carefully cut out the bottom, then store them in boxes with a cut upwards at an air temperature of at least +21 degrees. After 2-3 months, small babies in the amount of 20-40 pieces begin to form on the sections.

After the appearance of the children, the bulb is planted in a cool greenhouse. Young bulbs begin to grow and discard the first leaves. After the growing season, they are taken out of the ground, separated and planted for growing.After 3-4 years, ripe bulbs throw out their first flower stalks.

Cutting the bottom. This method is similar to the previous one, with the difference that the base is not cut out, but 2–4 cuts are made in it, 0.5–0.6 cm deep. Processing and storage conditions are the same as in the first method. With this method, the number of children decreases (8–15 pcs.), But they will be larger and stronger. The growing period in this case is reduced to 2-3 years.

The process of growing hyacinths at home is quite simple, but very fruitful. To successfully complete it, you need to have a lot of desire and a little patience. And, of course, follow all the rules and recommendations that relate to planting and caring for hyacinths in indoor conditions.

How to grow hyacinths at home - video

For many flower growers, hyacinths on the windowsill in an apartment are quite an ordinary event, as well as caring for them. For those who are just starting to grow this flower, we can say the following: hyacinth is quite a room "pet" and caring for it is not as difficult as it might seem at first.

Indoor plant - hyacinth

This primrose is, first of all, a garden plant, the cultivation of hyacinths in indoor conditions became possible due to the work of breeders. Not all varieties of hyacinths can be grown as a houseplant, but there are still a lot of them, so as not to list them "by name". Today, almost any variety on sale can be grown in an apartment on a window or loggia.

The natural habitat of the primrose is the territory of the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia. This should be taken into account in order to create certain conditions necessary for growing hyacinth in an apartment.

Hyacinths: planting and care indoors

As an indoor flower, hyacinth is grown following certain planting and care rules. They are quite simple even for novice florists. But first you need to decide on the point of acquaintance with the flower.

If you were presented with a flower for a holiday or you bought it in a store already in a state of color, then it is best to wait for the moment when the plant fades in order to properly prepare the bulb for subsequent planting. Or, there is a desire to transfer the hyacinth to another, more spacious container - to transplant it by the transshipment method. For this method, the main thing is the accuracy of execution and speed, in which a flowering plant, carefully without damaging the root system, is taken out along with a lump of earth and transplanted into another, larger container or pots, after which it is sprinkled with earth from all sides.

If you bought the bulbs, then in this case you can start planting the hyacinth right away. For planting, a healthy planting material is selected, which is soaked in a solution of a biological stimulant for 6 hours.

As in any business, planting a hyacinth has its own nuances:

• So, if the size of the planting material is more than 5 cm in diameter, then the plant is ready for planting and after a certain time will delight with its beautiful flowers.
• Small onions are grown, you should not prepare them for early flowering - they will bloom next year. If such an undeveloped "baby" throws out the flower arrow, it would be better to cut it off right away.
• The planting material "lives" for about 12 years, after which it is divided into little "followers" - children.

The plant needs nutritious soil, which is easy to prepare yourself, for this you need to mix the following components:

• Sod garden land - 2 parts.
• Sand and peat - 1 part each.

A soil mixture is also suitable, for which sod land, sand, humus and peat are taken in equal parts.

For distillation, you can do without soil altogether, using special liquid nutrient compositions for this. The simplest of them is prepared from 5 ml of complex fertilizer, dissolved in a liter of water.

We take a medium-sized container for planting, we place up to 3 bulbs in it, which should not come into contact with each other and with the walls of the planting box. At the bottom we pour a layer of river sand up to 2 cm high for drainage.

The bulb should not be completely covered with the substrate; its tip remains raised above the top edge of the soil. Pressing the soil around the bulb, water it and sprinkle it with sand on top. After that, put the container with the planted onions in a bag with holes and put it in a dark place, where it is relatively cool.

When leaves begin to appear in the primrose and their height reaches 2 cm, the container is transferred to a lighter place with a temperature of about 9 degrees. When a peduncle appears, the temperature should be increased to 15 degrees and continue to be maintained. At this temperature, many hyacinths bloom for up to 4-5 weeks. When the air temperature during flowering is about 20-22 degrees, the flowering period is reduced to 2-3 weeks.

How to care for indoor hyacinth

The plant is fed with calcium nitrate when the first leaves appear, mineral fertilizer for flowering plants - when the first bud is dissolved, and at the end of flowering - with superphosphates and potassium sulfate. Regular and correct fertilization contributes not only to abundant flowering, but also to the establishment of future flower stalks.

When the plant fades and withers completely, the process of transferring the bulb to a dormant state begins. In this state, the bulb prepares for subsequent growth and flowering, already in the new season.

Water the hyacinth with settled warm water regularly, but carefully. You need to try not to wet the parts of the plant, as this leads to their decay. The use of a watering can is contraindicated. The best watering option is to immerse the container in water.

There is no need to spray the plant, and it is even harmful during flowering.

Florists note that:

• If the hyacinth does not bloom, then the temperature regime is violated or there is not enough nutrition in the soil.
• If the leaves of the plant turn yellow, then drafts interfere with the plant or it is not watered correctly.
• Leaves can wilt in low light conditions.
• Flowers rot often occurs due to excessive watering.

When growing hyacinth in an apartment, you need to remember that the plant may pose some danger to allergy sufferers. It contains poison in the leaves, stems and bulbs, so rubber gloves should be used in contact with hyacinth. It is also necessary to exclude access to the primrose of children and pets.

Hyacinths on the balcony or outside the window

Primroses feel comfortable at low temperatures. Therefore, growing on a balcony, loggia or outside a window, where there is also enough lighting, is the best option for hyacinths in the summer. In winter, you need to protect the plant from freezing, and if the balcony or loggia is not heated, then clean it in a room with a positive temperature.

All articles about hyacinths on the site can be read by following this link ...

Growing primroses in indoor conditions brings certain troubles. But hyacinths with their flowering will thank the growers for their care, and will delight them with their appearance and aroma.

Hyacinth (hyacinthus) is a bulbous plant in which a peduncle on a short stem and small narrow leaves grow simply from the bulb. She herself is large, dense, and the aerial parts of the flower dry out immediately after the Hyacinth finishes its flowering. Consider the features of planting and care at home.

What does it look like

The flower looks bright. Shades are different:

1. White.
2. Blue.
3. Red
4. Pink.
5. Cream.
6. Yellow.
7. Purple.

Passing a flower bed with Hyacinths, you can not only admire their colorful spring flowers, but inhale their enchanting aroma.

Flower care requirements

This flower can be kept at home.But in order for it to grow well and please with its flowering, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules of how to look after at home.

Temperature and lighting

Resting temperature Hyacinth is about 5-10 degrees Celsius. This is done in order to artificially replace the flower for winter.

When the dormant period ends, it is brought into a room with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. This rise in temperature gives the plant an incentive to bloom.

The flower prefers sunlight. And therefore, if you decide to wake up the bulb earlier, and there are still no sunny days, then additional lighting will be required to start waking up the flower arrow.

In order for the flower to receive full-fledged illumination from all sides, it must turn from time to time different sides to the window pane.

Turns to the sun will ensure that your pet grows evenly

Watering and humidity at home

Watering must be properly organized. The land should be moderately moist and free from dry periods. This soil moisture should always be present, even during the dormant period. It is worth watering with warm, settled water.

If after 15 minutes the water is not absorbed from the pan, it should be drained to avoid rotting of the plant root system.

Soil and fertilizing

At first let's decide on the choice of soil for Hyacinth. Ideally, you should buy the mixture from a specialty bulb store. But this is not always feasible.

Therefore, many people compose it themselves:

Sod land	2 parts
Leaf land	2 parts
Compost	2 parts
Sand	1 part
Peat	1 part

When mixing the components, remove the coarse fractions, mix the rest thoroughly.

Pot selection

To make it convenient for the pet to develop in the container where it will be planted, you need to choose the right pot. It should be wide, that is, its diameter should be 3-4 cm wider than the Hyacinth bulb.

At the same time he must be deep enoughto fit the bulb and drainage into the pot.

When choosing a pot, see if there are drainage holes for draining the water, otherwise you will have to do them yourself.

The most dangerous pests and diseases

Diseases:

Yellow rot - when infected with this disease, the bulb becomes soft and has a specific smell. No cure has been found, and therefore the infected must be immediately thrown out along with the soil in which she grew.

In this case, you can simply pour boiling water over the pot twice.

Yellowing leaf plates - indicate that the flower does not have sufficient watering. You can solve the problem by adjusting watering.

Pests don't visit this flower.

Yellow foliage

Step by step transplant

In order for the flowers to bloom well, you need to plant them on time. This is done in the following way:

• A 2-3 cm layer of expanded clay is placed on the bottom of the container;
• The next layer is prepared earth, about a couple of centimeters;
• Then sand with a layer of 1 cm;
• On a pillow of sand a Hyacinth bulb is placed;
• The earth is poured around so that one third of the bulb looks out of the ground.

If more than one onion is planted in one container, then they must be given enough space to feed.

After planting the flower, it is necessary to organize a dormant period, which lasts up to 2 months. In this case, the temperature around it will be 5 degrees Celsius.

Reproduction methods at home

Multiply flower you can also at home using the spirit of ways:

1. Seed.
2. Children.

Seeds

Reproduction is rather rare, as this is a laborious process and the transfer of grade will not be guaranteed. But if you need to breed a new variety in the fall at the end of September, the seeds must be planted in containers with fertile soil and left in a cold greenhouse.

Seed propagation ensures long-term results

After a couple of years, normal healthy children will turn out.

Bulb babies

The cultivation is simple. Over the summer their grows on the mother 2-3 pieces... If they separate well, then they are planted and grown, like a large onion, making timely watering.

Small specimens can not overwinter, but grow year-round in the usual summer mode.

Possible growing problems

The flower becomes infected with rot if watering is not correct or if the temperature regime is not observed, as a result of which flowering does not occur.

Hyacinth species

Previously, there were about 30 types of them, but when reorganizing the botanical classification there are only three of them left.

Mix

Mix is ​​a group of hyacinths of the same species, but differing from each other in shades of blossoming buds. The plant has an elastic peduncle up to 25 cm.

Flowers in one batch sold in a flower shop can be either simple or double.

Flowers can be:

• White:
• Pink;
• Red, etc.

At the same time, they have an enchanting aroma.

Room

Actually, any hyacinth can grow indoors. The main thing is to correctly create suitable conditions for him, not forgetting about the mandatory period of rest.

Litvinova

Its height is 25 cm, the color of the leaf plates is gray. Its flowers have a blue tint with protruding stamens. Is growing in Turkmenistan and Iran.

Oriental

It is the parent of all current hybrids. Possesses beautiful flowers of various shades and a wonderful pleasant aroma. In the wild, it grows in Turkey and Syria.

Hyacinth Transcaspian

Plant height 20 cm blooms with blue flowers located on a fleshy peduncle. We grow in the mountains of Turkmenistan.

All kinds also classified by varieties.

General questions about Hyacinth

Sometimes people buy or receive Hyacinth for the holiday and, as a result, they have certain questions. Let's try to answer some of them.

How to plant a pot at home

After making sure that there are drainage holes in the container, we land according to the scheme:

• Drainage - 2 cm;
• Earth - 2 cm;
• Sand - 1 cm.;
• We put the onion on a sand pillow and pour soil around it.

When burying in the ground, leave one third of it in the air.

How to plant in autumn

Flower planted according to the described method and put in a place where the temperature is kept about 5 degrees Celsius.

A basement or a glazed and insulated balcony is perfect.

What to do with a flower after flowering

After flowering, the plant needs to rest. At this time, they are fed with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. After the leaf plates are completely dry, the bulb is removed from the soil.

During this period, they are examined and the children are separated. After that, everything is dried and already at the beginning of autumn they are again planted in pots.

Bulb requirements for healthy growth

For this purpose, planting material is selected. with a bulb size of at least 5 cm... Since only a leaf mass can be grown from a small one.

Healthy hyacinth bulb

However, it should be borne in mind that in terry varieties, the bulb is much smaller.

When choosing, you need to look so that it is:

• Dense:
• No scratches;
• No rotten spots;

How to be kicked out in water

Yes, you can. For this glass container is selected with a neck so that the onion placed in it does not touch the water with its bottom. At the same time, water is poured so that there is another 5 cm to the bulb.

Once a month, it is worth feeding with a complex mineral fertilizer. Fertilizers are simply added to the water that is poured into the container.

For more details on forced cultivation, see the article on forcing hyacinth at home.

Is it possible to adjust flowering to a specific moment

For example, if you need to get blooming Hyacinth by early March it is planted in November. That is, it must be planted four months before the proposed holiday.

After landing, they arrange for 1.5 months of wintering, and then they are brought into a warm room. Then a flower arrow begins to grow.

When can children be separated

Kids separated at the end of summer... But only if, with light pressure on them, they easily move away from the mother bulb. If not, then the adult bulb can be severely injured.

Why does Hyacinth have a short peduncle and leaves fall out of the bulb

This happens when the temperature regime of the rest period was poorly observed. Or insufficient watering of the plant.

In this article, we considered the conditions for a flower at home. If you are interested in this pet, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the rules of care and planting for hyacinth in the open field.

The right approach will give you a blooming pet in the house

To get blooming Hyacinth, you must, first of all, choose the right bulb and plant it on time, organizing wintering for him. And then in two months it will be possible to see its beautiful flowering.
