Let me know how you're all getting on! Are you growing Hyacinths and/or Paperwhites this year? How are they doing?
Great update Niall, they have really come on and do show how each in different ways are growing.
Yup i planted two after your video and got the bulb jars, i left them in the dark for a while, loved seeing the root formation, that was a treat in itself. The stalks are about the same as your first bulb jar one of the two. I have them on my kitchen windowsill now. Thanks for the idea of growing them that way,as only ever planted in pots.
Ah super Lorraine! So heartening to know that you’re having success as well. The bulb jars are just so convenient to do, plus they’re REALLY convenient when it comes to getting rid of the spent Hyacinths! No old compost, no mess!
@@niallgardens bless you. You are so uplifting with your enthusiasm.With the hyacinths in the jar i agree,no mess. A change from the great mess we get involved in the garden, makes a change. 💚👍🤣🤣
I’m now going to pot up some this afternoon, never done this before but my prepared bulbs were delivered yesterday. Fingers crossed 🤞 thank you for the information xx
Smart idea using things around your garden. I don't have a garden yet, am a container gardener. However, I happened to grow & collect orchids too, so I typically re-use my orchid supporters around some of my house & container plants.
That's a great idea to reuse what you have, such as your orchid supports - good work!
My paperwhites are in bloom here at the moment, I planted them around a white rose standard in a container years ago, and I always forget about them so it's a lovely surprise each Autumn.
Thank you
Wait to water paper whites with dilute alcohol until after the flower buds just emerge from the bulb, otherwise the alcohol may prevent flowering altogether.
Interesting!
I love the beachwood for supports! Genius. :)
Thank you! Cheers!
They are looking great Niall 🥰 and I love to add branches and moss myself 🌸🦋🌸
Love hyacinth, my favorite flower! Thank you for your videos, I'm learning more in how to care for my own.
nice video Niall, I particularly like your confessions of not following your own advice. ha ha . I planted some hyacinths about a month after your video around the base of dragon tree I had just re-potted, and they've been in a cool bright room ever since. The shoots are about 2 inches high now , so we'll see . 4 delft blue and 2 white ones (don't know variety name)
I did grow paper whites years ago, but found the scent so overwhelming I gave them to a neighbour (that I didn't like)
Careful though, you are in danger of becoming the supporting act to that banana plant.
That’s a cool idea planting around the base of the dragon tree and with the two different colours I think it’ll look really striking! Yeah that banana is growing growing growing! I’ve got competition!!😂
Hi. I planted hyacinths and paperwhite daffodils because I was inspired by your videos. They are a bit further behind yours because I obviously planted mine later, but now I know I am gonna need some support twigs so I can look for some now and will be prepared when the daffodils need it. 😁. Thank you for your help. Cant wait to see them all bloom. Take care x
That’s so cool that you planted some too and I’m chuffed to bits that they’re coming on well for you! They’re gonna be GORGEOUS!
fab update - I must admit, I wouldn't have recognised those paperwhites if daffodils if you hadn't introduced me to them
Thanks! That's so cool about the paperwhites!
Thank you 🙏🏻 for posting this amazing video
You're more than welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
cool mine about the same size as your ones great info again happy with mine first time for me
Brilliant! That’s so good that they’re doing well for you... and you have the excitement and satisfaction of it being your first time 👍
Love from Berlin, Germany. I have just bought Hyacinth, daffodils, Narcissus, Crocus, Tulips, Narcissus, Winterlinge etc. planted few Hyacinth in glass jars and will track the progress. Would love to have a live Instagram discussion with you. Always enjoy watching your videos
That's really cool that you're starting so many different things - fantastic!
Hi Niall. I’ve been blown away by my amaryllus, grows 1-2cm a day and is just about to flower. I’m going to have to go back and watch your bulb videos as I’ve only just subscribed so missed all that. But they’re looking so good! So interesting.
Amarylis plants are extraordinary aren't they when they get going! Thanks, yeah I make regular videos on all of my favourite plants, or even plants that I didn't think I liked, but that have won me over!!
@@niallgardens fabulous, I will be watching 😊
Thank you for your Video ,I am very enjoy it. If I want to do some hyacinth in the basket what I have to put into the basket before I fill the potting soil?
Thanks! You could line the basket with some polythene or plastic and then fill it with your soil or compost
Hi what about watering in winter
I need help! My husband bought me 4 for Valentine’s Day the flower shop had them in a nasty sand soil mix with no drainage. The leaves started looking sick so I emptied the pot. Soaked the bulbs in some peroxide cleaned off the mushy parts. Roots are white and healthy looking. My question is can I chop the leaves and set them above water and they will keep growing or do they now need to go into cold for awhile. It’s now hot here so I don’t have a cold room besides the fridge. They were so beautiful I don’t want to loose them.
Absolutely love your videos. I need some guidance. I had hyacinths in the spring and put the bulbs in dark bags after they finished blooming. I live in Canada so my question is when should I start growing them considering that we don’t have enough sun between January and February. Would March be a good time? I would love them ready for Easter
Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Yeah I think you could go with march. One thing to check with you though - if you've already grown them once indoors, are you planning to grow them indoors again? The reason I ask is that the prepared hyacinths really only perform well indoors once. After that, it's better to just plant them in the garden. The flowers are much much smaller in future years.
Hi Niall..how long do flowers bloom for? Many thanks
You'll get a couple of weeks out of the flowers before they die off
Hello Niall, I really enjoy watching your videos. I live in the US. We live full time in our motorhome and travel around the country. I would love to try this. We are spending our winter in Arizona. I purchased 2 bags of paper whites. We do not have a shed to keep the bulbs. I have a few in a bowl on a windowsill that gets light but no sun. We really don’t have a lot of windowsills for the bulbs to sit on, due to the way we are parked. I would like to have them start growing now. It is about 60°F at night, and mid to high 80’s F during the day. It will get a little cooler in our winter months….high 30’s low 40’s at night, 60’s during the day. To get them to grow now, should I put them outside during the day in the sun? Do I leave them outside all night or bring them back into our RV? Do I need to store the bulbs I don’t want to grow yet, in my refrigerator? Thank you for your time and wonderful videos.
I'll do my best for you AJ! The good news is that you're talking about paperwhites and they're really accommodating!! So... the bulbs can just happily be stored in a cool cupboard anywhere you fancy, so that bit's easy. Then, for growing them, I think that your windowsill you mention that gets light, but no sun, will be absolutely fine. The good thing is that they're basically pre-programmed to grow and flower, so they're incredibly tolerant. It might mean that they're just a little leggier and may need some extra support. You could certainly pop them outside during the day to get some rays, but I'd bring them back in at night. Hope this helps!
@@niallgardens Thank you so very much! I will try it and let you know how it works out. 💕
Hi I really liked your video but as i want to plant some hyacinths this fall i want to know when i store them in dark cooll place do i need to water them at all until i bring them inside Thank you very much I hope ill have them araund Xmas
Yeah even if they're somewhere cool and dark, I'd just make sure that the compost their in remains just nicely moist... not too wet and not too dry
Hello! I have 3 Hyacinths bulbs in water, they have flowered and now the flowers are dead. What do I need to do next?
I would be inclined to pot the plants up in a pot of compost, or out in a flower bed. They should come back again next year outdoors for you! The flowers will be smaller, but still lovely!
Hi Niall,I did plant hyacinth into 2jars and 1 fill with soil in the basket as u told me at my last comment. I check today again it supplies me with the one in basket have flowers and they only 5 inches tall. The 2 in the jar only 2 1/2 inches .I did add water when I see them low .Do I need change water or do something to let them grow faster? I plant all 3 at same time.Need your help.
I'm not too sure to be honest... I think it's just a case of giving them time as they will grow at different rates
Thank you .
Good day Niall, Nice it chat with u again. What kind of alcohol and how much of them to mix together. I will try it out. Thanks
Hi Niall, thank you for your amazing tutorial. I love to grow bulbs inside of our home. I tried growing hyacinths indoor but their flowers did not come out of the leaves. Flowers opened up while they are low and down to the their bulbs. Did this also happen to your hyacinths? Do you know how I can prevent this problem?
You're more than welcome - thank you! From my experience, if you're having that problem, it sounds like they needed longer in a cold, dark place. I'd say next year, when you place them somewhere cold and dark, make sure to keep them there until the shoots are about 5cm tall, then bring them indoors. That should fix your issue 😃
@@niallgardens Thank you for your response!
