Maintain the integrity of the seed ball itself. Do not often flip the seed ball, so as not to hurt the root system, in the process of changing water, you should pay special attention to not breaking the surface of the sphere, leaving wounds and increasing the chance of infection.

Clean the root disk regularly. The root system at the bottom of hydroponic hyacinth is easy to rot, and cleaning up the withered root in time is also one of the preventive measures.

Make sure the sphere is dry. The bottom of the root plate of hyacinth in hydroponic culture should be kept at a distance of 1 cm to 3 cm from the water surface as far as possible; do not wet the bulb when watering hyacinth.

Disinfect with carbendazim regularly. Carbendazim can always grow mold, but the sphere behind the bubble ball is wet, so it should be dried and recultivated.

The growth environment should not be too warm, if you can get low temperature, you do not need high temperature. Hyacinth itself can adapt to the colder environment, the flowering period is generally 15-18 ℃, moderate temperature is also an important part of prevention.
