A blooming hyacinth is a good holiday gift or decoration for your home.
Flowering at home
Do not wait for the summer - the plant can kick out the buds in any season. The main thing is the correct calculation of the time it takes to grow and pasture arrows. For winter flowering, the bulbs are rooted to the ground in early autumn, and for spring - in the middle.
ATTENTION!
In room conditions, 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, it is possible in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator.
The pots are medium sized for a few bulbs and small for one.
How does bloom?
Grassy perennial reaches a height of 20-40 centimeters. Next to the narrow linear leaves sprout sprouting, and on it bloom flowers in the form of bellsCollected in spiky brushes, which are called sultans.
The flowering process is accompanied by:
- emitting a delicate flavor;
- the formation of short pedicels;
- the formation of a fleshy box-fruit of spherical shape.
Inflorescences are different color: blue and blue, purple and lilac, white and yellow, red and pink, cream and even black.
Leaving after flowering
If you properly care for the plant after it has faded, there is a chance that after a while you again be able to observe the flowering process. So, if the hyacinth has faded, what to do with it further at home, how to care?
After flowering, many leave the hyacinth in a pot and do not know what to do with it next. However, caring for a plant after flowering is very important.
When the flowers wilt and begin to crumble, peduncle cut off. Leaves do not touch - let them dry out without outside intervention. So the bulb will get better. During the 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 out by cutting.
What to do with the bulb if it has faded?
When the soil is completely dry, the onion 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 bloom will repeat in 10-12 months (about how to care for a potted plant, read here). For this you need:
- after the onions dry out, shake them off the extra lumps of earth;
- clean the excess scales, roots, growths - children (about how to propagate and grow hyacinths at home, read here);
- keep in a dark place until transplant;
- two months before the expected period of flowering root onions in the ground;
- feed and water well, but do not accumulate moisture near the base.
Hyacinth planting begins with the premises in a small pot - for a single flower or wide, shallow - for several (how and when to plant a hyacinth in open ground, you can find here). 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 by 2/3 of their own height, but no more. The soil is used universal or for flowering. Sprouting occurs in a dark placeat a temperature of + 5-7 degrees.

Flowering time
The vegetation period is coming in early spring or closer to the beginning of summer. On the pasture buds takes 1-2 weeks. Flowering occurs in April-May. First, bloom blue blossoms, then - pink, purple, white and red. The most recent ones are orange and yellow.
Many are interested in the question, how many hyacinths bloom at home? They delight their fragrance for long - 1 to 4 weeks. Flower brush during this time grows and doubles.
Problems with flowering and their solution
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 the buds or leaves. It is recommended that watering be carried out through a pallet in order not to harm.
Hyacinth does not bloom with the following problems:
- content in the dormant period at high temperature;
- lack of moisture or its excess;
- scarcity of coverage.
If the reason is unknown, you can try again to dry the bulbs, clean from rot and excess scales and put them again in a dark place, observing the necessary temperature regime - up to +5 degrees. When hyacinth does not bloom due to moisture problems - its deficiency or excess, should be normalized watering and to prevent drying or rotting of the root system. If there is little light, you can move the pot to another place - where there is more sunlight.
