Hii!! I just bought this hyacinth bulb from my local supermarket, however I have no idea what to do with it after it growsđthe tag on it doesnât have any instructions past keeping the water 75% full. Anyone have any tips?? I donât have a garden so it would have to be potted but I just donât know when to repot it!!
Itâs bulb forced to bloom out of its typical spring or summer season. You can put bulbs in a paper bag and put them in the lower shelves of a fridge for several weeks. This simulated the winter dormancy period. You place the bulb to root above water or in a potting mix. Bulbs under water will quickly rot. These bulbs need 6 hours to 8 hours of full sun or grow light equivalent. Gradually acclimate it to full sun to prevent burns. Keep away from heater vents. Change the water weekly or sooner if cloudy. You can use a diluted liquid fertilizer made for bulbs/blooms which has more phosphorus in the formulation. Bulb fertilizer granules or bone meal works well in potting mix. đđȘŽ
2 likes All of that sounds very complexđ are you able to tell what stage Iâm at from the picture?? Because I think itâs past the refrigerator stage from what I read on google. Also is the level of water in the vase ok?? The tag said to keep it 75% full at all times. And how do I know when itâs ready to plant it in soil?? Thankyou so much for your help!!
