How to Grow Hyacinths in Water? Growing Methods and Precautions

The hyacinth is a very beautiful plant, and many girls love growing this plant, especially in water, as it has great ornamental value. Below, let us take a detailed look at how to grow hyacinths in water and the precautions for growing hyacinths in water.

How Do You Grow Hyacinths in Water?

Growing methods for hyacinths in water:

1. Prepare a transparent glass bottle shaped like a gourd, fill the bottle with water, and place the head of the hyacinth bulb at the mouth of the bottle.

2. After the bulb is in place, move it to a dark place and cover the bottle with a black cloth. The indoor temperature should be kept at 5-10°C. This is because the hyacinth grows relatively quickly at this temperature.

3. After the hyacinth grown in water has grown for 20 days, its roots will have fully sprouted in the completely dark environment. At this point, it can be moved to a place with light for growing.

4. After the root system of the hyacinth grown in water has fully developed, move it to a place without direct sunlight and grow it at a temperature above 10°C. During the growing period, change the water every 2-3 days and keep the water clean. Let the water reach the roots of the hyacinth.

5. After the flowers of the hyacinth grown in water fade, promptly cut off the flower stems, take out the bulb and plant it in a pot so that the bulb can become plump. When its leaves wither, dig out the bulb and store it well; in autumn it can be planted again in a pot so that it can regain vigor. If the bulb is stored well, it can still bloom the following year, but the flowers will be smaller and the flower stalk will also shrivel; this is mainly because the bulb has become degraded.

Precautions for growing hyacinths in water:

1. Hyacinths need to be disinfected before being grown in water. Only after disinfection is complete can they be grown.

2. When growing hyacinths in water, when adding water, the water level can be lowered until the roots just barely touch the water surface. This allows the roots to fully absorb oxygen and promotes the growth of the root hairs.

3. Before the hyacinth bulb sprouts, the hyacinth must not be placed in a place with light.

4. After the root system of the hyacinth grown in water has developed well, move the hyacinth to a place with diffused light for growing.

5. Frequently change and add water for hyacinths grown in water, and ensure the water quality is clean. The water surface must be able to soak the bulb.

6. When changing the water for the hyacinth, be sure not to break its roots, because the roots of the hyacinth are very fragile. Just pull the hyacinth bulb partially out of the water-growing bottle, avoiding breaking the root system, which would affect the growth and flowering of the hyacinth.
