# I recently bought this hyacinth from Food City, I don't know what's…

I recently bought this hyacinth from Food City, I don't know what's wrong with it. It's leaves have brown tips as well, this is a temporary pot and we're waiting until cold snaps stop before planting outside.

What kind of soil is it potted in? What is it? How much light are you giving it, and water?

Also don’t forget, plants experience shock when they move to a new location - like from the store to your home!

I'm sorry, I left out the plant name by accident! It's a pink hyacinth, it's in the window getting indirect light all day and direct sometimes at sunset, but not for long, it is in general potting soil.

Thanks for the details! Hopefully someone who knows more about hyacinths can help!
