Stately and spectacular hyacinth is a real decoration of the garden in early spring. Appearing on the flowerbed is one of the first, when the snow still remains in places, it delights people around with large and fragrant flowers of a wide variety of shades and shapes. Such magnificence on a miniature scale can well be repeated in winter, delighting yourself, loved ones and friends with a great gift for the New Year or Christmas. About how the plant is distilled at home - recommendations in our article.

Hyacinth: a botanical description

Hyacinth is a genus that belongs to the Asparagus family and includes only three species. All of them have a characteristic look and fragrant flowers. The bulb of the plant is dense, consisting of fleshy leaves, the bases of which occupy the entire circumference of the bottom. The stem is thick and dense, with an inflorescence at the top. After flowering, he dies with the leaves with him. Very fragrant flowers are collected in a brush, perianth is brightly colored, in the form of a bell-shaped funnel with bent lobes. The fruit is a three-celled box. Three species are known: Hyacinthus transcaspicus, Litvinova and eastern. The latter is most common and known, which became the basis for the breeding of many varieties and hybrids. Hyacinth can be cared for and planted at home in a pot or in open ground.

East hyacinth: description

It is considered to be a typical species of the genus, that is, acting as a nomenclature. In the event of any controversial situation, he acts as the sole bearer of the generic name from an objective point of view. The birthplace of the plant is the Mediterranean and However, at the moment it is cultivated everywhere not only in decorative quality, but also in medicinal. The plant is a perennial, bulbous, up to 30 cm high and a stele thickness of up to 0.5 cm, the leaves are fleshy linear, has a bell-shaped flower. at home which is quite simple, it blooms in early spring one of the first in the garden. It has become especially popular in culture since the 15th century in Europe, since then more than three hundred quality and proven varieties have been bred. The Netherlands is famous for the cultivation of hyacinths, especially the Haarlem region, from which millions of bulbs of these flowers enter the world market annually.

Popular varieties

It is difficult to say in a few sentences about the huge assortment of hyacinth varieties. When choosing one of them for home or garden, pay attention to the manufacturer, seller, as well as botanical characteristics (height, flowering time, suitability for forcing, etc.). Planting and caring for hyacinths at home suggest a choice of a particular hybrid. We offer conditional division of varieties by color of flowers.

  • White: Argentina Arendsen (up to 28 cm, diameter of a single flower up to 4 cm), L "Innosance (an early old variety created in Holland in 1863, height up to 26 cm), Carnegie (medium-sized - up to 22 cm, cylindrical inflorescence ), Edelweiss (medium early, up to 25 cm, with a wide brush).
  • Pink: Anna Marie (late, up to 25 cm high), Fondant (industrial variety with large 20 cm inflorescences, photo above), Pink Pearl (early, cone-shaped inflorescence with characteristic long bracts), China Pink, Marconi.
  • Blue: King of the Blues (old Dutch variety 1865, late, pictured below), Delft Blue (up to 20 cm, suitable for forcing, long flowering period), Maria (up to 25 cm, deep blue saturated shade, one of the most common hybrids), Miozotis (early, pale blue).
  • Violet: Amethyst (short flowering period, unpretentious, pale lilac hue, height up to 25 cm), Bismarck (early, up to 30 cm light purple inflorescence, ideal for forcing and pruning), Menelik (purple-black, compact, late) .
  • Yellow: City of Haarlem, Orange Boven, Yellow Hammer.

Lush, spectacular flowering, bright colors and a unique thick and rich aroma - these are the main reasons for which in the pot. Home care is quite simple, but involves distillation, in connection with which some features appear. Try to get a flowering plant, as a rule, for a certain holiday: New Year, March 8, etc.

What is distillation?

This process involves comprehensive measures to accelerate plant growth. It is widely used in greenhouse cultivation and floriculture. The plant is placed in conditions with high ambient temperature, humidity and additionally illuminated, thereby stimulating them to active development, flowering and fruiting. In this way, tulips, daffodils, lilies and hyacinth in a pot are grown at home. How to save the plant after a similar procedure, read on.

Bulb Sample

In fact, forcing mobilizes all the forces of the plant and in a short time allows you to get beautiful flowers. Only healthy and strong specimens are able to withstand this. Choose high-quality planting material, large, dense bulbs without damage, grown in open ground. Pay attention to the weight, it should not be too light and give the impression of a void inside. In addition, as mentioned above, it makes sense to pay attention to the variety, there are hybrids specifically designed for distillation.

Preparing bulbs for planting

Preparation of hyacinth bulbs begins in the summer, at the moment when you decide that you will grow hyacinth in a pot (home care - hereinafter). As soon as the foliage dries up, planting material must be dug up, washed in warm water and dried in a draft in a shady place, and then stored in a cool and dry cellar or cellar. Experienced growers know one secret. As soon as spring flower stalks of hyacinths appear on the flowerbed, they notice the largest and most powerful ones, but they do not give them to bloom and cut them off. This allows the plant to use all the power to develop the bulbs, which can then be successfully driven out in the winter.

Landing time

The timing of planting bulbs in the soil directly depends on exactly when you want to receive blooming hyacinths on your window. Care and growing at home in the future are quite simple, it is important to do everything right at the initial stage. The cooling period for distillation in the early stages is 10-13 weeks, for later varieties it increases to 12-16. The start date can be set as follows. Determine the day when you need to get the flower and in the opposite order subtract the number of established weeks from it, plus another 3-4 - for growth for early and late varieties, respectively.

In order to strengthen the immune system, the bulbs should be placed for 30 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate or the drug “Khom” (concentration - 4 g per 1 liter of water) before planting.

Planting bulbs

In accordance with the planned flowering time in autumn, soil bulbs should be planted in the soil (purchased or prepared independently). Use individual pots or group planting - depending on your own preferences. Hyacinth in a pot care at home suggests minimal, but its flowering is magnificent. Fill the pots with earth almost to the top, then plant the bulb so that its top is at the level of the edges of the dishes. For group planting, observe a distance of 2.5-3 cm. From above, cover the pot with dark polyethylene, making holes for ventilation. Transfer the plants to a dark and cool place for a specified period, the temperature of the content should be in the range of 5-8 ° C.

As the earthen coma dries out, moisten it slightly, the soil should be slightly moist. During this time, small sprouts appear in the hyacinth, when they reach 3-5 cm in height, plants should be brought into the house. The initial temperature of the content should not exceed 12 ° C, choose a shaded place for a few days, and then move them closer to the window (but not to the radiators). In a constant place, the pot is placed at the moment when the buds appear on the plant.

Potted hyacinth: home care during flowering

In order for a plant to please you with beautiful flowering, it needs to provide stable conditions. After the buds appear, the pot with hyacinth is rearranged in a constant light, drafts-free place. The temperature should be in the range of 15-20 ° C; maintain the soil in a constantly moistened state, not allowing it to dry out. Spend a single feed with complex mineral fertilizer, strictly observing the dosage and concentration indicated on the package.

What to do with the bulb after flowering?

The hyacinth bulb used for distillation cannot be reused. However, you can plant it in open ground on a flowerbed in the garden, where it will delight you with natural flowering in early spring. After the distillation is over and the desired result is obtained, leave the bulb in the ground - this is necessary in order to preserve the flower. Hyacinth in a pot home care suggests the same as in the soil. Continue to water the plant and feed it with fertilizers until the leaves begin to wither. After they dry, carefully separate them. Remove the bulb from the ground, dry it and put it in storage in a cool and dry place. Land in the ground in late autumn: in the middle or end of October, when the temperature of the soil drops to 5-10 ° C. Thus, hyacinth will have time to take root before severe colds.

Remember that the plant prefers a sunny and open place, possibly with slight shading, protected from wind and excessive moisture. The soil is recommended loose, containing sand, humus, and having good moisture permeability.

Hyacinthus (Hyacinthus) - a beautiful bulbous plant from the Asparagaceae family, blooming in spring. From the ancient Greek language the name translates as “rainy flower”, since hyacinth with the first spring rains blooms. But the Greeks also called it the “flower of sorrow” and associated this flower with Apollo and the murder of the young son of King Sparta. The homeland of this elegant plant is considered to be the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia.

The flowering stalk of hyacinth can be either stunted or quite high. From the outlet of the leaves comes a juicy peduncle with numerous flowers that resemble bells and are collected in a racemose. Flowers are represented by the most unexpected shades. The leaves are smooth, fleshy, bright green.

All possible hyacinths can be divided into three main species, which grow mainly in Mediterranean countries. Although botanists continue to debate about certain varieties, wishing to designate them as independent, but according to official data, only the following main types of hyacinths are distinguished:

Eastern hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis)  - the most famous and common type. It is from this species that the most famous decorative varieties come from. In the wild, it grows in Dalmatia, Greece and Asia Minor. .   The flower stalk of the plant is thin, the flowers are rarely located. The flowers have a different color and a pleasant aroma.

Hyacinth Litvinova - A perennial herb that is cultivated more like an annual. In the wild, it is found in the eastern regions of Iran and Turkmenistan. Among this species, both tall and undersized specimens are found. The flower is unusually beautiful. Blue, violet and greenish colors dominate. The leaves are slightly wider than that of eastern hyacinth.

Trans-Caspian Hyacinth  - has rather high stems, as a rule, two peduncles. The color of the flowers is always light blue. In the wild, it is found in the mountains of Kopetdag.

Hyacinth is primarily a garden plant. Wanting to grow it at home, it is necessary to recreate the natural conditions as much as possible. This task is not an easy one, but with due diligence and desire, a novice grower can also cope.

Location and Lighting

The best option is the south and south-east windows. And the reason is a great love of sunlight. Hyacinth needs daylight - at least 15 hours a day. So, if you place it on the western or northern side, you will have to help the plant through fluorescent lamps.

Even if the plant loves light, direct sunlight can harm it, so it is better to shade the windows in hot summer days or remove the plant from the windowsill during the day. From time to time, you need to turn the pot with the plant in different directions.

Temperature

A sharp change in heat and cold, drafts, hot batteries - all this negatively affects the flower. The most suitable for comfortable hyacinth growth is a temperature of 20-22 degrees. But, given that this flower is primarily positioned as a garden, then staying on the street or balcony in the warm season will only benefit him.

Watering and humidity

The plant needs regular, but gentle watering. Watering must be done very carefully. If water is on any part of the plant, then this part may fester and hyacinth will die. A safe option is to water by immersion, and it is better to refuse watering cans. Water should be warm, soft and settled.

Hyacinth does not need spraying. And when it blooms - it is generally contraindicated!

The soil

The optimal soil composition for hyacinth will be a substrate of leafy soil, humus, peat, turf land and sand. All this must be mixed in equal parts.

Fertilizers and fertilizers

Hyacinth is constantly in need of top dressing. As a fertilizer, you can use any universal for indoor plants. For hyacinths in the garden, fertilizers can be applied both in dry form and in dissolved form. But before applying liquid fertilizers, the plant must be watered.

In order to get a beautiful flower in the future, hyacinth bulbs should be purchased only in trusted specialized stores. When buying bulbs, you need to carefully inspect and make sure that they are not damaged and not sick. A healthy plant will grow only under the condition of an elastic and smooth bulb, which has a clear neck and shoulders. In most cases, the color of the scales and bulb coincides with the future inflorescence. The size of a bulb is not always indicative of its quality, however, if its diameter is within 5 cm, this is a good indicator. The best time to buy bulbs is the end of summer.

If you are going to buy an adult plant, you need to carefully examine the leaves and stem of the hyacinth. The stem should stand straight, the leaves should also look up, and the peduncle should not be tilted.

How to get flowers at the right time

In order to get a chic flower stalk from the bulb, you need to provide the plant with the coolness of this autumn. During this period, the temperature regime should be within 5-9 degrees of heat. This can be achieved by sending the plant to the basement or to the lower shelf in the refrigerator. And to enhance the effect, the bulb in the ground can be wrapped in an opaque bag. Of course, care during this period is minimized. Surprisingly, just such conditions are optimal for the active growth of hyacinth. This lasts, as a rule, for 2 months.

When a sprout (about 5 cm) appears, the plant needs a "spring", that is, the temperature regime needs to be changed to 13-15 degrees. At this temperature, it must be kept until the first buds appear. And with their appearance, hyacinth needs a temperature of 20-22 degrees. The temperature transition must necessarily be smooth, otherwise the flower may die or will look painful.

Hyacinth care after flowering

After flowering, during dormancy, the most important thing for hyacinth is the correct temperature regime. Watering should be moderate. When the hyacinth fades and its leaves fade, it's time to tackle the bulb. The peduncle and leaves should be cut, and dig out the bulb. This usually happens in June.

The bulb should be carefully examined if there is a need (or for preventive purposes) to disinfect. And then, changing the temperature regime from 30 to 17 degrees, store it until the fall leaves.

Planting Hyacinth in a Pot

When planting hyacinth, it is allowed to place up to 3 bulbs in one pot (their sizes are taken into account). The bulbs cannot be in contact with the walls of the pot and with each other - there should be 2 cm between them. The pots should be of medium size. Drainage is necessarily poured at the bottom of the pot - it can be river sand, which should occupy 2 cm in the pot. The top of the bulb should be raised above the soil. After planting, the substrate must be pressed, poured and sprinkled with sand. Then the pot needs to be placed in a bag, tied, but previously made several holes in it and removed in a cool dark place.

Some grow soilless hyacinths in water. This is a very real way, but a prerequisite is mineral fertilizers dissolved in water. The hyacinth bulb should be on the surface of the container, only slightly touching the water. For a while, she should be in a dark, cool room. And with the advent of the roots, the plant should be relocated to a bright room.

There are several ways to propagate hyacinths. At home, relevant: bulbs, children and scales. In a natural way, from one bulb, you can get as many as 5 children during the growing season. To achieve maximum results using the method of incision of the bulb. The process requires a change in temperature conditions and regular treatment with fungicide. But if everything is done correctly, then after 3 months small onion babies are guaranteed to appear.

Diseases and Pests

The main pests of hyacinths: aphids, thrips, spider mites, stem and gall nematodes, flower flies. They are able to destroy the plant - the leaves turn yellow, fade, the buds fall, the bulbs become rotten and rot. In each case, its own methods of control, but most of them are associated with the use of insecticides.

In addition to pests, the enemies of hyacinths are various diseases that can be non-infectious, infectious, viral, bacterial and fungal in nature. The most common and dangerous are yellow bacterial rot and soft bacterial rot. In a diseased plant, the leaves turn black and dry from the top. Watery and brown streaks appear along the veins of the leaves and on the peduncle. First, yellow spots appear on the bulbs, and then the whole bulb rots and begins to radiate the stench. Such a plant cannot be saved. The diseased plant and bulb should be burned, and the hole treated with formalin or bleach.

If hyacinth is not properly taken care of, then the following problems may occur:

  • Hyacinth stops blooming. Usually this is due to a violation of the temperature regime. The plant does not like too high temperatures.
  • The leaves of the plant turn yellow. Most often this happens against the background of improper watering or due to drafts.
  • The leaves fade. This is due to a lack of natural light.
  • The buds are falling. This is due to improper watering. It must be carried out carefully so that water does not fall on the peduncle.
  • Flowers rot. This happens when the plant is too “love” (too watered).

Hyacinth is a fairly unpretentious plant. With proper care at home, there will be no particular reason for concern. It can be successfully grown by both experienced and beginner amateur growers.

Do not wait for the summer - the plant can drive out the buds in any season. The main thing is the correct calculation of the time that it takes to grow and past the arrow. For winter flowering, bulbs are rooted in the ground in early autumn, and for spring in the middle.

ATTENTION!

In indoor conditions, the planting begins with the selection of bulbs - solid, dry, with a diameter of up to 5 cm. Before rooting, they are kept for 2-3 days in the cold, you can in the lower drawer of the refrigerator.

Pots are medium in size for several bulbs and a small one for one.

How does it bloom?

Herbaceous perennial reaches a height of 20-40 centimeters. A flower stalk sprouts near narrow linear leaves, and blooms on it flowers in the form of bellscollected in spike-like brushes called sultans.

The flowering process is accompanied by:

  • emitting a delicate aroma;
  • the formation of short pedicels;
  • the formation of a fleshy box-shaped spherical.

There are inflorescences different color: blue and blue, lilac and lilac, white and yellow, red and pink, cream and even black.




Care after flowering

If you properly care for the plant after it fades, there is a chance that after a while you again you can observe the flowering process. So, if hyacinth has faded, what to do next with it at home, how to care?

After flowering, many leave hyacinth in a pot and do not know what to do next. However, caring for the plant after flowering is very important.

When the flowers fade and begin to crumble, peduncle cut. Leaves do not touch - let them dry without outside interference. So the bulb is better strengthened. Within a month, it is watered and fed. Further, watering is reduced, and fertilizers are no longer used.

IMPORTANT!

Leaves are removed only after they have completely dried by cutting.

What to do with the bulb if it has bloomed?


When the soil is completely dry, the bulb can   gently remove from the pot  and let it dry in a dark, cool place.

During the year she will gain strength and will not bloom. With proper care   flowering will repeat in 10-12 months  (about how to care for a plant in a pot, read). To do this, you must:

  1. after the onions dry, shake them from excess clumps of earth;
  2. clean from excess scales, roots, growths - children (on how to propagate and grow hyacinths at home, read);
  3. keep in a dark place until transplantation;
  4. two months before the expected flowering period, root the bulbs in the ground;
  5. feed and water well, but do not accumulate moisture near the base.

Starts from the premises   small pot  - for one flower or wide, shallow - for several (you can find out how and when to plant hyacinth in the open ground). When planting, an interval of 2.5 cm between plants is observed so that they do not interfere with each other's growth. They are deepened into the ground at 2/3 of their own height, but no more. The soil is used universal or for flowering. Germination occurs in a dark place, at a temperature of + 5-7 degrees.

Watch a useful video on how to treat the bulb after flowering:

Flowering time

The growing season comes early spring or closer to early summer. It takes 1-2 weeks to pasture the buds. Flowering occurs in April-May. First, blue inflorescences blossom, then pink, lilac, white and red. The latest ones are orange and yellow.

Many are interested in the question, how many hyacinths bloom at home? They delight their fragrance for long - from 1 to 4 weeks. A flower brush grows and doubles during this time.

Flowering problems and solutions

Hyacinth can not always bloom on time. This is due to the influence of diseases and pests or improper care of the plant.

REFERENCE!

The flower does not tolerate excess moisture, liquid on inflorescences or leaves. It is recommended that watering be carried out through the pan so as not to harm.

Hyacinth does not bloom with the following problems:

  • keeping at rest at high temperature;
  • lack of moisture or its excess;
  • poor lighting.

If the reason is unknown, you can try again to dry the bulbs, clean them from rot and excess scales and put them back in a dark place, observing the necessary temperature conditions - up to +5 degrees. When hyacinth not blooming due to moisture problems  - its deficiency or overabundance, watering should be normalized and prevent the root system from drying out or decaying. If there is little light, you can rearrange the pot in another place - where there is more sunlight.

Attentive care of the herbaceous perennial will provide you with magnificent and fragrant flowers, which in six months will again delight you with their flowering.

Hyacinths must be grown from bulbs that have passed the dormant period. In diameter, they should be no more than 7 centimeters. In order for the hyacinth to bloom, say, by the New Year, its bulbs must be planted in September-October.

Planting hyacinth

Planting hyacinths in - it's actually not that hard. Remember that hyacinth bulbs should not touch the bottom. They need to be pressed a little into the ground, and the tops should be left in the air. A vase is best for growing hyacinths. Add a small amount of sand to the soil and plant hyacinth bulbs in them. After planting, the rest period should last about 2 months.


The temperature in this room should be no more than 7-10 degrees. You should also cover the bulb with black paper, put the box on the balcony or loggia, as well as in the basement.


To plant hyacinths, you need pots, any other dishes or boxes with drainage holes. The size of the drainage holes should be medium in size.


At the very bottom of the pots you need to pour drainage, then a small layer of sand and only after that the soil mixture. After the hyacinth bulbs give roots and small shoots, it is best to transfer them to a room in which there will be about 15 degrees.

Flowering Hyacinth Care

Remember that hyacinths love places that are well lit. Put the flower in a bright place and away from heating appliances. Hyacinths should be watered regularly, but the earth should not suffer from excessive moisture. Do not forget to constantly turn the flower pot over. Only then will it grow evenly. For feeding, you can use special substances.

Flowering hyacinths at home

This plant blooms for about 10-14 days. In that case, if you put a pot of hyacinth overnight in a cool room, flowering can be extended by 5-10 days.


After the hyacinths fade, remove the peduncle, but do not immediately cut off the leaves.


In the future, feed and water the bulbs for a month. Only then reduce watering to a minimum. After the leaves fade and dry, then they can be removed and the hyacinth carried in a dark place.

Hyacinth (hyacinthus) is a bulbous plant in which a peduncle on a short stem and not large narrow leaves grow simply from the bulb. It itself is large, dense, and the aerial parts of the flower dry immediately after the hyacinth has finished its flowering. Consider the features of planting and care at home.

The flower looks bright. Shades are different:

  1. White.
  2. Blue.
  3. Reds
  4. Pink.
  5. Cream.
  6. Yellow.
  7. Violet.

Passing by the flower beds with Hyacinths, you can not only admire their colorful spring flowers, but also breathe in their captivating aroma.

Flower Care Requirements

This flower can be kept at home. But in order for him to grow well and delight with his flowering, one must adhere to certain rules on how to care at home.

Temperature and lighting

Resting temperature  Hyacinth is about 5-10 degrees heat. This is done in order to artificially replace the flower in winter.

When the dormant period ends, it is brought into a room with a temperature of 15 degrees heat. This increase in temperature gives the plant an incentive to bloom.

Lighting flower prefers sunny. And therefore, if you decide to wake the bulb earlier, and there are still no sunny days, then additional lighting will be required to begin to awaken the flower arrow.

In order for the flower to receive full lighting from all sides, it must be turn from time to time  different sides to the window pane.


  Turns to the sun will ensure uniform growth of the pet

Watering and humidity at home

Watering should be properly organized. The land should be moderately humid and not have dry periods. This soil moisture should always be even during dormancy. It should be watered with warm, protected water.

If after 15 minutes the water from the sump does not absorb, it should be drained to avoid decay of the root system of the plant.

Soil and top dressing

At first determine the choice of soil  for hyacinth. Ideally, you should buy the mixture in a specialized store for bulb plants. But this is not always feasible.

Therefore, many make it up themselves:

When mixing the components, remove large fractions and mix the rest thoroughly.

Pot selection

To make it convenient for the pet to develop in the container where it will be planted, you need to choose the right pot. It should be wide, that is, its diameter should be 3-4 cm wider than the hyacinth bulb.

At the same time he bound to be deep enoughso that the bulb and drain fit in the pot.

When choosing a pot, see if there are drainage holes to drain the water, otherwise they will have to do it yourself.

The most dangerous pests and diseases

Disease:

Yellow rot - when infected with this disease, the bulb becomes soft and has a specific smell. No treatment was found, and therefore, the infected should be immediately thrown out with the soil in which it grew.

At the same time, you can simply pour the pot over with boiling water twice.

Yellowing leaf plates - indicate that the flower does not have enough watering. You can solve the problem by adjusting the watering.

Pests  Do not attend this flower.


Step Transplant

In order for the flowers to bloom well, they must be planted on time. It's done in the following way:

  • At the bottom of the container lay 2-3 cm. A layer of expanded clay;
  • The next layer is prepared ground, about a couple of centimeters;
  • Then sand with a layer of 1 cm .;
  • On a sand pillow  the bulb of Hyacinth is put;
  • Around the earth is filled up so that one third of the bulb peeks out of the ground.

If more than one bulb is planted in one container, then they need to be given enough space for food.

After planting the flower, it is necessary to organize a rest period, which lasts up to 2 months. In this case, the temperature will be around it at 5 degrees heat.

Home breeding methods

Multiplyflower   can be at home  using the spirit of the ways:

  1. Seed.
  2. By the kids.

Seeds

Propagated quite rarely, since it is a laborious process and the transfer of the variety will not be guaranteed. But if you need to develop a new variety in the fall at the end of September, the seeds must be planted in containers with fertile soil and left in a cold greenhouse.


  Seed propagation provides long lasting results.

After a couple of years, we get normal healthy babies.

Onion kids

Growing is simple. Over the summer them grows on the maternal 2-3 pieces. If they separate well, they are planted and grown, like a large bulb, making timely watering.

Wintering for small specimens can not be done, but grown year-round in the usual summer mode.

Possible growing problems

The flower becomes infected with rot when the watering is not correct or if the temperature regime is not observed, as a result of which flowering does not occur.

Types of Hyacinth

Previously, there were about 30 species, but in the reorganization of the botanical classification  there are only three left.

A mix is \u200b\u200ba group of hyacinths of the same species, but differing in shades of blooming buds. The plant has an elastic peduncle up to 25 cm.

Flowers in one batch sold in a flower shop can be either simple or double.

Flowers may be:

  • White:
  • Pink;
  • Red and others

Moreover, they have a charming aroma.

Actually, any hyacinth can grow indoors. The main thing is to create suitable conditions for him, not forgetting the mandatory rest period.

Its height is 25 cm., The color of the leaf plates is gray. Its flowers have a blue tint with protruding stamens. Is growing   in Turkmenistan and Iran.

This is the parent of all current hybrids. It has beautiful, various colors flowers and a wonderful pleasant aroma. In the wild grows in Turkey and Syria.

Hyacinth Transcaspian

The height of the plant is 20 cm. It blooms with blue flowers located on a fleshy peduncle. It grows in the mountains of Turkmenistan.

All kinds also sorted by grades.

General Hyacinth questions

Sometimes people get or get Hyacinth for the holiday and as a result of this they have certain questions. Let's try to answer some of them.

How to plant at home in a pot

After making sure that the tank has drainage holes, we make a landing according to the scheme:

  • Drainage - 2 cm.;
  • Earth - 2 cm.;
  • Sand - 1 cm.;
  • We put the onion on a sand pillow and pour soil around it.

Buried in the ground leave it one third in the air.

How to plant in the fall

Flower planted according to the described method  and put in a place where the temperature is kept about 5 degrees heat.

A basement or a glazed and insulated balcony is perfect.

What to do with a flower after flowering

After flowering, the plant needs to rest. At this time, they are fed potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. After the leaf plates are completely dry, the bulb is removed from the soil.

During this period, they are examined and separated by children. After that, everything is dried and already in the beginning of autumn they are again planted in pots.

Bulb Requirements for Healthy Growth

For this purpose, planting material is selected with a bulb size of at least 5 cm. Since only leaf mass can be grown from small ones.


However, it is worth considering that in terry varieties the bulb is much smaller.

When choosing, you need to look so that it is:

  • Tight:
  • No scratch;
  • No rotten spots;

How to expel in water

Yes you can. For this glass container is selected  with such a neck that the bulb put into it with its bottom does not touch the water. In this case, water is poured in such a way that there is another 5 cm to the bulb

Once a month, it is worth feeding complex mineral fertilizer. Fertilizers are added simply to the water that is poured into the tank.

For more information about forced cultivation, we examined in the article.

Is it possible to adjust the flowering to a certain point

For example, if you need to get blooming Hyacinth by early March  it is planted in November. That is, it is necessary to plant four months before the proposed holiday.

After landing, they arrange 1.5 months of wintering, and then they enter it into a warm room. Then the flower arrow begins to grow.

When can children be separated

Kids separated at the end of summer. But only if, with a light pressure on them, they easily move away from the mother's bulb. If not, then the adult bulb can be severely injured.

Why does Hyacinth have a short peduncle and leaves fall from the bulb

This happens when the temperature regime of the rest period was poorly observed. Or insufficient watering of the plant.

In this article, we examined the conditions for a flower at home. If you are interested in this pet, we recommend.


  The right approach will give you a flowering pet in the house

To get a blooming hyacinth, you must first of all choose the right bulb  and plant in time, organizing a wintering for him. And then in two months it will be possible to see its beautiful flowering.
