How do you pot grape hyacinth bulbs? It's not too late to learn now

After grape hyacinths bloom, they are especially beautiful and have high ornamental value. But many flower lovers don't know how to pot hyacinth bulbs, so let's talk about it below.

Before planting, first check to see whether the grape hyacinth bulbs have any moldy or rotten spots. If there are none, you can plant them directly; if there are, you need to disinfect them.

When you find moldy or rotten spots on the bulbs, soak them in a carbendazim solution for about five to ten minutes. While soaking, check whether the roots have any old roots; if so, remove the old roots, but be careful not to cut them flat, otherwise it will be very difficult for them to take root.

If the bulbs you receive have old skin on them and also mold spots, at this point you can peel off two layers of skin, and it will not affect their blooming.

When mixing the soil, pay attention to the soil's air permeability and looseness, and do not let the soil's water-holding capacity be too strong, otherwise waterlogging and root rot may occur.

You can use ordinary potting soil, perlite, coconut coir and chicken manure to mix it; there is no fixed ratio, and it can be determined according to the size of the flower pot.

After that, you can plant the bulbs in the flower pot, then cover them with about three to four cm of soil. The amount of soil cover can be determined according to the depth of your flower pot.

After planting, place it in a ventilated, slightly shaded spot for care. After it sprouts, appropriately increase the light.

During the care of grape hyacinths, there must be sufficient light for them to grow quickly, otherwise the flowers are prone to poor growth.
