  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2016
  • This video shows you what you will need to do once your hyacinth has finished flowering. In the video I explain about cutting back the flower stems, how much light the plant needs, what feed to give them and what temperature is best.

    So thankful to have found your video. My mother recieved a Hyacinth as a gift and all she has been doing is watering it and hiding it underneath our piano. Plus she asks people if they want it since she doesn't like it. So I have taken it under my care having no clue what to do to care for it.

    mine was store bought and already rooted in a glass vase, I got them in march and they have bloomed and wilted now. (I wanted to see it so it wasn't in a cool place...) Should've left it right on the patio and maybe it would've lasted longer.
    I trimmed back the flowers and since I read on one of your replied to not replant them, I added grounded eggshells and coffee grounds instead. My research is telling me they are potassium rich and relatively low in nitrogen? I didn't do a ton of digging. Hopefully that'll help them restore some life for next year!

    • @Gardeningat58N
      @Gardeningat58N  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yes it sounds like you've done the right thing. They need lots of potassium as this encourages better flowering next year, but of course they also need a little bit of the other nutrients. Wait until the leaves and roots die off and then keep the bulb in a cool dry place like a cupboard over summer and then plant the bulb outside in autumn.

    • @WingN
      @WingN 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They do best outside, so it should last for many years and flower every spring. If it was grown indoors last year the flowers won't be as good this year, but if its fed with tomato feed and is in a good sunny position it should flower well every year.

    • @Gardeningat58N
      @Gardeningat58N  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Once all the leaves and roots have died you can then transfer them to a free draining compost or soil mix. Multipurpose compost with some perlite or grit added should work well. You can't transfer them to soil whilst in growth because the roots are extremely brittle and will snap. When you transfer them to soil they will need their summer dormancy period and then the cooler period in autumn to regrow their roots. Leaving the pot outside should allow this to happen as long as your not in the tropics. Before planting remove any leaves and roots so you are only left planting a bulb. Flowering next year will be bad because growing hyacinths in water weakens the bulb, but should improve for the following years if grown with plenty of light.

    Hi I bought store hyacinth flowers last year, cut them back and stored in a cool place, they have come back this spring after potting and leaving indoors- but the stars have grown really tall and the flowers haven't managed to come out properly, there doesn't seem to be enough room for the flowers to bloom within the stalks? My question is should the bulbs have been planted outdoors for this season?

      Sounds like a lack of light or too warm, they usually grow much better when grown outdoors. You could plant them outside once the plants die back to the bulb.

    Hello, I found a hyacinth plant sitting outside left to rot (owners of the storefront packed up and moved and left the hyacinth in its store-bought wrapping on the porch) and I rescued it. It looks like most of the flowering stalks are drooping but not dead yet- I believe it's been overwatered from sitting outside in our rainy, cold Michigan weather. Is it safe to keep the hyacinth inside where its about 65 degrees until our full spring arrives, and then put it outside? Can it stay inside permanently?

      Yes it should be fine at 65F thats a good temperature for it, especially if its already finished flowering. If its not finished flowering its a little bit too warm, but it will do. Make sure it gets plenty of sunlight, if its been over watered there is a chance the whole plant might rot. You can keep it indoors until it becomes dormant, but then if you want to grow it again next year you will need to move it somewhere cold in autumn so that it can grow roots and experience typical winter weather, although Michigan winter weather is probably a bit too cold for it, So in autumn keep it outside until the very cold weather arrives and then keep it somewhere with some protection from the hardest frosts.

    Can you do this with a hyacinth bulb being grown in a vase? Mine just flowered and I was hoping to save it and have it remain in water/vase but I don’t have soil to plant it in.

      You can try, but the plant will struggle as it doesn't naturally grow in water, add a very dilute solution of tomato feed to the water so that the plant can absorb nutrients. Once the leaves and roots have died transfer the bulb to soil, it won't flower as well next year because its been growing in water, and you can't transfer it to soil until it becomes dormant because the roots are so fragile they will just snap if transplanted. Growing in water is ok for one year, but it can't be done every year. Many bulbs die after flowering in water.

    question though once it’s done blooming this winter season and i already cut off the flower, can i just keep the bulbs in the same pot and the foliage as well and just wait for it to bloom again?

    • @Gardeningat58N

      Yes, but you will need to give it the dry dormant period over summer once the leaves die, and then in autumn you will need to give the plant colder temperatures and start watering again. As long as you don't live in the tropics putting the pot outside will allow the weather to do all this naturally, as long as the soil is not soggy. Rain and damp soil over summer is ok.

    if the flowers do go to seed what do you do with the seeds? Can they be sowed like other seeds just wondering?

    • @Gardeningat58N

      Yes they can, but they won't normally germinate until they have gone through a winter. So you can either sow them in compost, leave them outside and next spring they will start to germinate. Or you can sow them in compost and leave them in the fridge for a couple of months and then move them somewhere warm, this will make them grow this summer. Or you could dry out the seeds and then sow them directly in the ground in Autumn and they will grow next spring.

      Thank you good info to know . I think i will let them dry out and Plant in Autum seems more easier for me .
