How many years can hyacinth be grown?

If you choose to grow hyacinths in hydroponics, then because of limited nutrients, they can generally only live for one year. If you choose to grow hyacinths in soil, they can generally live for 3-5 years. However, if they are not properly maintained, the lifespan of hyacinths will be reduced. Therefore, how long hyacinths live is also related to the maintenance method. Soil-grown hyacinths can be grown for 3-5 years because the bulbs are relatively well protected, but the flowering of hyacinths will decrease year by year. So if you don't mind that the flowers are not as beautiful as the first year, you can grow them for several years.

Hyacinthus needs moderate light conditions. If the sunlight is too weak, you can use incandescent lamps to supplement the light. In order to ensure normal growth, the soil can be mixed with leaf mold, garden soil, coarse sand, and bone meal in proportion. Different growth stages have different temperature requirements, so you need to pay attention to regulation. Keep the soil humidity between 60-70% and the air humidity at around 80%. Put the base fertilizer in the pot and apply topdressing 1-2 times during the growth period. Only in this way can hyacinth grow well.
