The onion pot my mom bought at the market bloomed not long after, a real unexpected harvest

My mom is a typical housewife. She usually just cooks at home. She learned to grow potted plants from friends in recent years. But speaking of potted plants, I remember my mom once bought onions at the market and said she would plant them in a pot. Who knew that before long the onions bloomed, a real unexpected harvest. Let's take a look at what happened!

This is the onion bulb my mom had just bought. When she first brought it home, she said she wanted to document it, so she took a photo as a keepsake. But I never expected it to produce such beautiful flowers. Later, my dad saw it and told us that this was not an onion, but a hyacinth, which is a kind of flowering plant. However, hyacinth bulbs look very much like onions, so many people mistake the two.

Growing hyacinths in pots is also very simple. For hyacinth bulbs, we first need to water-culture them. This is to let the hyacinth grow roots. Only after the hyacinth has grown roots can it be planted into a flowerpot. Generally, the water we use for water culture is tap water that has been left to sit overnight, because the water we drink in daily life contains relatively more various minerals, so we cannot water directly.

After the hyacinth grows white roots from the bottom, we can prepare a flowerpot of a suitable size. Inside the flowerpot, prepare some loose, fertile soil with relatively good aeration, and then we can transplant the hyacinth into it.

Although no onion was grown in the pot, my mom was quite satisfied. My mom said that by a strange twist of fate she had grown such a beautiful pot of hyacinths, and it was still quite pretty. I wonder if you like hyacinths?
