Hyacinth should be maintained for a period of time after flowering to accumulate nutrients for the bulbs. Then, when the leaves are withered, cut off the leaves and roots, and only keep the seed ball. The seed ball is wrapped with paper and refrigerated, which is more conducive to its growth in the next year. Replant the seed ball from October to November, and then wait for the next year to flower again.

I. continue to maintain

Hyacinth usually starts to bloom in the middle of March, and it usually leaves in April. At this time, when the seed ball is in the growth period, the flower stem needs to be cut off first to avoid the waste of nutrients. In addition to timely supplement of water and fertilizer, to avoid seed ball dormancy when not formed.

Cutting leaves and removing roots

In late May, the leaves of hyacinth basically withered. At this time, all the leaves and roots should be cut off and only the part of seed ball should be kept. Because the seed ball retains part of the nutrition, it can continue to bloom next year.
