2. Cut leaves and remove roots
After the hyacinth blooms, it needs to be maintained normally for a period of time to accumulate nutrients for the bulbs. Then after the leaves wither, cut off the leaves and roots, leaving only the bulb. Wrap the bulbs in paper and refrigerate them to help them grow the next year. Replant the bulbs from October to November and wait until the second year to bloom again.
1. Continue maintenance
1. Continue maintenance
Hyacinths usually begin to bloom in mid-March and fade away in April. At this time, the bulbs are in the growth stage, and the flower stems need to be cut off first to avoid wasting nutrients. In addition, water and fertilizer should be replenished in time to prevent the bulbs from becoming dormant before they take shape.
2. Cut leaves and remove roots
< p>In late May, the leaves of the hyacinth are basically all withered. At this time, all the leaves and roots must be cut off, leaving only the bulb part. Because the bulbs retain some of their nutrients, they can continue to bloom next year.
3. Cold storage of bulbs
< p>First clean the hyacinth bulbs and then place them in a cool and dry place. You can also wrap them in a paper plastic bag and put them in the refrigerator. Low temperature will promote their growth.
4. Replanting
Planting time is mostly from October to November. Because hyacinths mostly grow in winter, planting them at this time is more conducive to rooting and germination, and they will bloom again in the following spring.
5. Precautions
1. Due to climate differences, hyacinths can bloom for up to two years in China, and the number of flowers in the second year will be about half that of the first year.
2. Hydroponic hyacinths consume a lot of nutrients. In the second year, they are usually converted to soil culture. At the same time, the inflorescences are cut off to continue to nourish, and they will bloom again in the third year.
3. Cold treatment of hyacinth is very necessary, otherwise the top will bloom first and the inflorescence will be short and strong.
