After the flowering period, hyacinths need to be pruned, stored at low temperatures, and replanted. Because the plant will go dormant after the flowering period, the flower stems and leaves of the plant need to be cut off. Hydroponics need to cut off the root system together; then place it in the refrigerator and replant it in soil or water after November.

1. Pruning

1. Pruning

After the flowers fade, the branches and leaves gradually wither and turn yellow as the temperature rises, and begin to enter the dormant period. Cut off flower stems and leaves from dormant plants. Plants grown in hydroponics are cut off along with their roots, while in soil culture, only the upper flowers and leaves are cut off.

2. Low temperature preservation

Take out the processed bulbs before high temperatures in summer and dry them in a cool place. After drying, wrap the bulbs in newspapers and place them in the refrigerator at around 4-5°C. Be careful not to lower the temperature below 0°C.

3. Replanting

After the weather gradually turns cold in November, take out the preserved bulbs and replant them in soil or water. For soil culture planting, you only need to bury the bulbs in the soil with the roots exposed, place them in a cool place for about a week, and then maintain them normally; while for hydroponics, you place the plants on the top of the bottle 1cm away from the water surface, and then place them in a cool place to encourage them to grow. root.

4. Precautions

Hyacinth plants born in the next year may shrink to a certain extent because the bulbs have degenerated. Generally, bulbs can bloom in three years, but it is difficult to bloom in the fourth year. After flowering, if you need lush flower branches, it is recommended to purchase new bulbs directly in the second year.
