Hyacinths are ideal as a potted plant
So you enjoy the hyacinth in the pot for a long time
Hyacinths in the pot bring spring into the house. From November to March, you can buy cheap early-crops commercially. This is how to properly cultivate the spring flowers so that you can enjoy the fragrant blossom for a long time.
Buy hyacinth in the pot
When buying, pay attention to a compact plant. The flower bulb should easily peek up. If she is nice and big, you can access.
Take the plant out of the packaging immediately. Make them cool and bright until flowers show. Then the hyacinth tolerates slightly higher temperatures.
So you maintain the hyacinth in the pot
Before and during flowering, you must water the plant regularly, whenever the upper layer of soil is dry. Prevent waterlogging. Do not fertilize freshly purchased hyacinths. Cut off faded flowers.
Some hyacinths get very large inflorescences with many small flowers. They tilt slightly to the side and bring the pot to tilt. Provide stability and, if necessary, tie the flower stems to small plant supports.
Take care for rest after the flowering period
After the flowering season, there is a long period of rest in which the flower bulb will recharge its batteries for the next year. Put the pot in a cool corner where it does not bother. Pour only moderately. As soon as the leaves are yellow, no more water is poured. Just leave the plant to yourself until autumn.
For the hyacinth to flower next year, the pot has to be set up for about eight weeks at temperatures between 0 and 6 degrees. If necessary, this can also be done in the fridge.
Show the first flowers, pave the flower bulb in fresh soil and put it in a warmer, bright place.
Tips & Tricks
If it is too time-consuming for you to bring hyacinths in the pot over the winter, plant the bulbs in the garden after flowering. Then the hyacinth blooms again without care next spring.
