1. Temperature

The temperature suitable for hyacinth is about 18°. Generally speaking, if it is below 10°, the growth is relatively slow, and if it is above 25°, it is easy to cause blind flowers. Generally, in the winter in the north, hyacinths must be maintained indoors to ensure the temperature requirements.

2. Watering

Hyacinths grown in soil need to be watered, while those grown in hydroponics only need to be watered regularly. Do not water too much, as too much water will easily accumulate and cause root rot.

3. Soil

The soil must be breathable, which is conducive to the root development of hyacinth and not easy to accumulate water. You can add some coconut bran to the garden soil to ensure the growth of hyacinth.

4. Lighting

After the roots grow and the leaves grow, you can put it in a place with good light. After the leaves grow out and start to bloom, you can put it in a place with scattered light for maintenance.

How to choose hyacinth

1. Seeing

Check whether the roots and surface of the bulbs are rotten or mildewed. Select bulbs with smooth, plump surfaces and little color difference. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the root plate. The cleaner the better.

2. Touch

Touch the bulb with your hand. The fuller the better, which means the bulb is rich in nutrients. Touch the surface of the bulb to see if there are small pits or soft areas. If there are small pits or soft areas, it means the bulb is poorly developed or has been squeezed or moldy during transportation. Do not choose such bulbs.

3. Smell with your nose

Smelling the bulbs is mainly to ensure that the bulbs will not become moldy, so as to prevent the bulbs from rotting during the breeding process.
