Hyacinths are perennial flowers that are easy to care for. They can be grown outdoors, in pots or containers. In the article, we will talk about the basic rules for caring for a plant.
Care
Choose well-drained soil.
Plant the bulbs in the fall about 6 inches deep into the soil and 5 inches apart.
Sun
Hyacinths prefer a place with full or partial sunlight - about 6-8 hours a day.
Soil
Although hyacinths are not precise about soil pH, they do best in a neutral, slightly acidic environment.
Choose medium-nutrient, loose and well-drained soil for planting.
Flowers will not grow well if the soil is very nutritious and moist. This can lead to rotting of the root system of the plant.
Watering
Water hyacinths sparingly to prevent root rot and disease.
Without precipitation, half an inch of water once a week will be enough for a flower.
Before watering, feel the soil and water only if it is dry.
Temperature and fertilizer
The plant grows best at low temperatures - 40-45 degrees Fahrenheit.
After planting hyacinths, use a granular fertilizer that promotes flower growth.
Then fertilizer should be added after the first flowering of the plant and once again in the fall.
