Why does the hyacinth stem bend? It turns out to be the "stuck arrow" phenomenon

Hyacinths come in many varieties with rich colors, and their blooms are both brilliant and gorgeous. Moreover, it is a perennial plant that grows bulbs, generally propagated using its seed bulbs, and it can be replanted. But the hyacinths many gardening friends grow at home tend to quite easily develop bending flower stems when they reach blooming season, seriously affecting flowering. So why does the hyacinth stem bend?

When the hyacinth's flower stem bends, it is neither attractive and at the same time affects its normal flowering. And this phenomenon is often a manifestation of the "stuck arrow" condition, because hyacinths quite easily develop the stuck arrow phenomenon when care is improper, so this situation needs to be vigorously avoided, to keep it from affecting flowering and also affecting the mood of the flower admirer.

The stuck arrow in hyacinths is mainly a poorly grown condition caused by the inner flower stem growing too fast while the outer leaves grow too slowly, so the flower stem is trapped inside the leaves and cannot smoothly emerge, thus bending. And the appearance of the stuck arrow phenomenon in hyacinths is mainly affected by temperature and light - on one hand, light was provided too early, and on the other hand, the temperature rose too quickly.

Of course, one rather easily overlooked cause cannot be ruled out either, and that is that some gardening friends cannot control their hands and often peel off the outer skin of the seed bulb, mostly seen during the water culture of hyacinths. Because the hyacinth is a bulb plant, its seed bulb is wrapped layer upon layer in scales, which can both protect the seed bulb and also provide nutrition, and the nutrition in the seed bulb is mostly stored in the scales.

But during normal growth, the outermost scales of the hyacinth seed bulb easily age, thus becoming very thin and developing cracks and falling off, looking very unsightly. So quite a few gardening friends simply peel them off to improve the ornamental value of the seed bulb. But if this is done often, the seed bulb will lose a large amount of nutrition and be unable to ensure it smoothly pushes out the flower arrow and blooms, thus forming a stuck arrow.

So we should not often peel off the scales outside the hyacinth seed bulb, otherwise it will lose a large amount of nutrition and affect normal growth, then affect arrow emergence, and after causing a stuck arrow it will affect its normal flowering. And even if we peel off the outermost aged scales, the outermost scales will continue to age. Although for a time the ornamental value of the seed bulb is improved, the consequence of bringing about a stuck arrow is also painful.
