How to nourish hyacinth? how to deal with hyacinth after blooming? Does hyacinth need to bask in the sun?

Do you grow hyacinth? What problems did you encounter in the process of planting? What should be done after the hyacinth blossoms? Here are some common problems encountered in planting hyacinth to see if you have the answer you want.

Q1. How to deal with the hyacinth bought at the iGarden bulb festival this year after flowering (the flowers have been cut off)?

A1. Due to the climate in Taiwan, it is not easy for bulbs to spend the summer (maybe rotten balls). Usually we discard the whole blooming bulbs and buy new ones to plant next year.

If you want to try to keep the bulbs for planting, you can cut off the flowers and let the leaves continue to photosynthesis and accumulate nutrients. When the weather turns hot and the leaves turn yellow, place the pot soil with the ball in a cool and ventilated place (note). At this time, the bulbs are sleeping and do not need to be watered.

If the bulbs survive the summer without rotting, a small amount of water can be supplied when the weather turns cool in autumn. if there are new buds, there is hope that they will blossom again, but the flowers will usually be smaller.

Q2. If you want to continue to plant bulbs, can you put them in the mud now? Are you afraid that the leaves are too big to bask in the sun?

A2. If you want to let the bulbs spend the summer, continue to open next year, it is recommended to use the way of soil ploughing (note), now you can quickly change to soil.

Hyacinth is not afraid to bask in the sun, it is necessary to have plenty of sunshine so that the leaves will not grow too slender and thin.

(note) if you want to leave a seed ball to try to spend the summer, it is recommended that when planting with soil, continuous fertilization can be applied after flower fade to help nutrients accumulate in the bulb.

Q3. After the hyacinth blossoms, can the flower part be reused? Like making dried flowers?

A3. Hyacinth flowers have high moisture content, so they are not suitable for making dry flowers. For bulb treatment, please refer to the above question and answer.

In fact, hyacinth is very good species, as long as you are more careful, take care of it, it can grow very well.
