How to deal with Hyacinth after flowering? how long can Hyacinth live

Hyacinth is a very suitable plant for hydroponic culture, because hyacinth has very developed and soft white roots, hydroponic hyacinth can well observe the root growth of hyacinth, but because the nutrition that hydroponics can provide to hyacinth is limited, and flowering is a very nutrient-consuming thing, most hyacinths will die after flowering.

How to deal with Hyacinth after blooming

1. Continue aquaculture

The hyacinth after the blooming of hyacinth in water culture continues to be raised in water until the temperature rises gradually in early June, the leaves of hyacinth will turn yellow and enter the period of summer dormancy.

2. Cut off the leaves

Cut off all the withered and yellow leaves of hyacinth during summer dormancy and cut off all the roots.

3. Refrigerated hyacinth

Leave the bulbs in a cool and ventilated place for 1 to 2 days (never in the sun). After drying thoroughly, wrap the bulbs in a newspaper and put them in a can and put them in the freezer (not the freezer).

4. Temperature requirement

The temperature should not exceed 10 degrees during the summer, otherwise the bulbs are perishable.

5. Re-culture

When the temperature gradually turns cool into late autumn in November, take out the hyacinth bulbs that have been preserved for a summer, place them on the mouth of the bottle in a proper container, add water to about 1CM from the bottom of the bulbs, and then place them in a completely dark and cool place for 5 ℃ to promote roots. The root system will sprout after about 25 days, and when the root system grows to 2CM, it can be raised according to the normal maintenance method of hyacinth until it blossoms. In general, in this cycle, hyacinths can be kept for about 3 years, and the original bulbs will basically no longer blossom in the 4th year.

How long can Hyacinth live by Water Culture

Generally speaking, hydroponic hyacinth can only survive for one year, but hydroponic hyacinth can survive for three to four years after adopting the correct maintenance method.

Culture method of hydroponic hyacinth

1. Operation of hyacinth before hydroponic culture

1. Add water to the glass bottle, but be careful that the water surface does not dip to the bottom of the seed ball.

2. Keep it with an ordinary glass or a special glass bottle of flowers. The bottle is divided into two parts, small at the top and big at the bottom

3. The glass can be lifted from the mouth of the glass by using lead wire as a tray.

4. Fill the lower part with water and put a piece of charcoal in the water to prevent the water from smelling.

5. Choose an extra-large bulb, place it five centimeters away from the mouth of the bottle, soak it in water and place it in the sun.

6. Put it in the shade when the bud grows five centimeters, put it in a warm place where there is no direct sunlight after the root is fully grown, and often add water to soak the bulb. When leaves and buds grow, bask in the sun for one or two hours a day to make their leaves and pedicels strong; adjust one direction every day so that they do not grow to one side.

7. Without fertilizing, a bright and fragrant hyacinth will bloom in March or April of the following year. After the flowers fade, take out the roots, plant them in the pot soil, dig them up and hide them when the leaves are withered, and plant them again next year.

II. Maintenance methods

1. Place the hyacinth in a cool, dark and well-ventilated place, keep the temperature between 9 °C and 13 °C, and check once a week to see if you need to replenish water.

2. When the flower bud grows 8cm from the bulb (about 10 to 12 weeks later), the glass bottle is filled with roots, and the hyacinth can be moved into the greenhouse.

3. When the temperature in your home is kept between 17 °C and 20 °C, you will enjoy the process of bud growth and color development. But do not put them directly near the heat source, so that the beautiful hyacinth flowers can extend the opening time.

4. After flowering, you can plant the ball in your courtyard. In summer you can arrange flowers in glass bottles, while in winter you can buy a treated hyacinth and reuse it.

How to change water for hyacinth in water culture

When hydroponic hyacinth is cultivated, it is necessary to change water. This is mainly to ensure that when hyacinth is cultured in water, there will be more oxygen in the water, and the more oxygen it contains, the better the plant will grow. In fact, water cultivation hyacinth does not need to change water very frequently. In general, it is possible to change water once every 10 days in spring and autumn, every 5 days or so in summer, and a longer interval in winter.

However, not all hyacinths will die after flowering, because there are not enough nutrients to keep hyacinths alive, so we just need to help hyacinths replenish enough nutrients after flowering, and then cut off the leaves of hyacinths to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption.
