What is the flower language and meaning of hyacinth?
Hyacinth is a perennial herbaceous plant. Its flowers are rich in color, including red, blue, white, yellow, purple and many other colors, and their meanings differ as well. Next, let us take a look at the flower language of hyacinth!
Hyacinth likes sunlight and is cold-tolerant. It is suitable for growing in a cool, humid environment and in loose, fertile sandy soil, and it dislikes waterlogging. Normally, keep it slightly moist, and avoid overly wet conditions or waterlogging, so that by March of the following year it will generally bloom. The potting method is basically the same as field planting: use loose soil, plant 1-4 bulbs per pot, apply sufficient base fertilizer, and place it outdoors in a sunny spot.
The flowering period of hyacinth
(1) Pot cultivation. That is, in October, plant the bulbs into pots with culture soil, planting 1 bulb per small pot and 3-4 bulbs per large pot, then cover with soil. After planting, pay attention to applying additional phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. After about 120 days, they can bloom.
(2) Water culture. In December, place the bulbs in a wide-mouthed glass bottle with a grid, and add a little charcoal to help disinfect and prevent rot. The bulbs only need to be soaked up to the bottom of the bulb, then place it in a dark place and cover the bottle with black cloth. After more than 20 days in this way, the roots will sprout in a completely dark environment, and then it can be taken outside to receive sunlight. At first, expose it to sunlight for one or two hours a day, then gradually increase it to seven or eight hours. If the weather does not change much, it may bloom by the Spring Festival.
(3) Open-field cultivation: It is suitable to carry out from October to November. Choose soil with good drainage, and apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting. For field cultivation, avoid continuous cropping. Generally, no other management is done before flowering. After flowering, if you do not plan to collect seeds, the flower stems should be cut off to promote bulb development, and the cutting position should be as high on the flower stem as possible. In early June, the bulbs can be dug out, spread out, graded, and stored in a cold storage. The summer temperature should not exceed 28°C.
What does the flower language of purple hyacinth represent?
Having obtained my love, you will surely be happy; sorrowful, jealous, melancholic love.
In early spring in March, it is exactly the season when hyacinths bloom. There is also a beautiful story about hyacinth in Greek mythology. Legend has it that the sun god Apollo fell in love with Hyacinthus, but this provoked the jealousy of Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, who then transformed them into this flower. From then on, hyacinth became a token of chastity between lovers, and its flower language also symbolizes "firmness and gaze." Perhaps this is the annotation of eternal love. Likewise, therefore, the flower language of hyacinth also symbolizes "sorrowful, jealous and melancholic love."
In early spring, if you want to see hyacinths bloom around the Spring Festival, then after the hyacinth flowering period ends, cut off the previously dying flowers. Therefore, in the language of hyacinth, every color of hyacinth carries the meaning of "reborn love," telling of forgetting past sorrows and beginning a brand-new love.
The flowering period of hyacinth is counted from the opening of the first flower, generally about two weeks. It usually blooms between March and June. Its growth cycle is dormancy in summer, rooting in autumn and winter, sprouting in early spring, blooming in March, and the plant withering in early June. Therefore, those who want to grow hyacinths themselves can choose to plant the seeds in autumn and winter, and in early spring of the following year they can see the unique flower posture of hyacinth.
