III. Key Care Tips for Hyacinths
1. The nutrients needed for hyacinth blooming mainly rely on the nutrients stored in the scale leaves of the bulb. Only by choosing a seed bulb with an undamaged surface, fleshy scales that are not excessively shriveled, relatively hard and heavy, and plump, can it produce abundant and beautiful flowers.
2. There must be suitable light intensity. If the light is too weak, it will lead to conditions such as weak and spindly plants, overly long stems, small flower buds, early flower withering, and yellowing leaves. An incandescent lamp can be used at about 1 m away for supplemental light; but too strong light can also cause scorching of leaves and petals or shorten the flowering period.
3. Maintain a suitable temperature. If the temperature is too high, even above 35°C, flower bud differentiation will be inhibited, deformed growth will occur, and the rate of blind flowers will increase; if the temperature is too low, the flower buds will suffer freeze damage.
4. The soil is required to be fertile, with high organic matter content, good granular structure, and slightly acidic.
5. Soil moisture should be kept between 60 and 70 percent. If too high, root respiration is inhibited and rot easily occurs; if too low, the aboveground part wilts, or even dies.
