Temperature: Hyacinth needs 2-6℃ for root growth, 10-12℃ for leaf growth, and 15-18℃ for flowering. Light: Appropriate amount of light every day, not too strong or too weak. Soil: Well-drained, fertile, not too dry sandy loam. Moisture: The principle is to see dry and wet. Be careful not to have too much water, and don't let the pot soil get too dry.

1. Temperature

1. Temperature

The root system of bulbs grows best at a low temperature of 2 to 6°C. The suitable temperature for bud germination is 5 to 10°C. The suitable temperature for leaf growth is 10 to 12°C. During the budding and flowering stage The most favorable temperature is 15-18℃. The storage temperature of bulbs is 20-28°C, with the optimum temperature being 25°C, which is ideal for flower bud differentiation.

2. Light

During the breeding process of hyacinth, it is recommended to provide an appropriate amount of light time every day. If the light is too weak, it will cause thin plants, small flower buds, yellow leaves, etc. However, The light intensity should not be too high. If the light is too strong, the flowering period of hyacinths will be too short.

3. Soil

Hyacinths should choose sandy loam that is well drained and not too dry. The soil is required to be fertile, with high organic matter content, good aggregate structure, and neutral to microscopic soil. Alkaline, pH level 6-7. The potting substrate can be mixed with humus-rich leaf humus soil, garden soil, and coarse sand in equal parts, and add a small amount of bone meal.

4. Moisture

The principle of watering is to see dryness and wetness. Be careful not to have too much water, and don't let the potting soil get too dry.

In northern areas, generally after watering, there is no need to water within half a month; in southern areas, there is no need to water for a month. Sometimes, although the soil surface is dry, the bottom is wet. Yes, if you water it any more, it will be superfluous.

To maintain the humidity of the greenhouse, it is better to water in the morning.

5. Precautions

1. Precautions for summer

① Fertilizer and water should be controlled in the later stage of cultivation. Prevent bulbs from "cracking at the bottom" and rotting during the rainy season.

② The bulbs spend the summer in the soil without leaving any soil. They must be dug up and stored every year. The bulbs must be fully dried in the shade, otherwise they will not be able to withstand storage.

2. Storage precautions

① Harvest bulbs in time. If harvested too early, the growth will be insufficient. If harvested too late, it often encounters the rainy season and the soil will be too wet.

②The storage environment must be kept dry and cool, and the bulbs should be spread out in layers to facilitate ventilation.

3. Other precautions

Hyacinths can only grow in low-temperature environments, so they should be allowed to grow in a natural environment until the temperature drops below 0 degrees. Then move the hyacinth indoors.
