Hyacinths can generally be propagated by dividing balls and breaking off balls, but try to do so when the balls are bigger, such as the size of garlic cloves. "after the big balls are planted in autumn, they can blossom in early spring, and the balls need to be cultivated for three years before they can blossom. Due to the low natural ball distribution rate of hyacinth, the mother plant can only give birth to 1 or 2 seed balls after planting for one year.
