Why is the hyacinth stem bent? It is actually a case of "stuck arrow"

There are many varieties of hyacinth with rich flower colors, and they bloom both brilliantly and gorgeously. Moreover, it is a perennial plant that grows from bulbs, and it is generally propagated using its bulbs, which can also be replanted repeatedly. But hyacinths grown in many gardeners' homes tend to develop bent flower stems during the flowering period, seriously affecting blooming. So why does the hyacinth stem bend?

When the hyacinth flower stem becomes bent, it is neither attractive and at the same time affects its normal blooming. And this phenomenon is often a manifestation of "stuck arrow", because hyacinths easily develop "stuck arrow" when care is improper, so this situation needs to be strongly avoided, so as not to affect blooming and also affect the mood of the flower viewer.

The "stuck arrow" in hyacinth is mainly a case of poor growth in which the inner flower stem grows too fast while the outer leaves grow too slowly, so the flower stem is trapped inside the leaves and cannot emerge smoothly, thus becoming bent. And the appearance of "stuck arrow" in hyacinth is mainly affected by temperature and light: on the one hand, light is provided too early, and on the other hand, the temperature rises too quickly.

Of course, a relatively easily overlooked cause cannot be ruled out either, which is that some gardeners cannot control their hands and often peel off the outer skin of the bulbs, mostly seen during the hydroponic cultivation of hyacinths. Because hyacinth is a bulb plant, its bulb is wrapped in layer upon layer of scales, which can both protect the bulb and provide nutrients, and the nutrients in the bulb are mostly stored in the scales.

But during normal growth, the outermost scales of the hyacinth bulb easily age, becoming very thin and developing cracks and falling off, looking very unsightly. So many gardeners simply peel them off to improve the ornamental value of the bulb. But if this is done often, the bulb will lose a large amount of nutrients and be unable to ensure that it smoothly sends out the flower arrow and blooms, thus forming "stuck arrow".

Therefore, we should not often peel off the scales on the outside of the hyacinth bulb, otherwise it will lose a large amount of nutrients and affect normal growth, then affect the emergence of the arrow, and after causing "stuck arrow" it will affect its normal blooming. Moreover, even if we peel off the outermost aged scales, the outermost scales will continue to age. Although the ornamental value of the bulb is improved for a time, the consequence of causing "stuck arrow" is also painful.
