INDIANAPOLIS – Hyacinth bulbs are “on vase” once again, and showing both roots and shoots after less than 48 hours.

And thus another gardening year is off and running here at May Dreams Gardens.

I pulled the bulbs out of the refrigerator on January 1st, where they had been chilling since mid-October in a plain brown paper bag, and placed them on the vases filled with water.

And now on January 3rd – roots and shoots.

Forcing hyacinths to bloom using hyacinth vases is one of the easiest and most rewarding activities for any gardener in the winter time. It’s almost as effortless as growing dandelions or chickweed.

I highly recommend it, I encourage it. I could not imagine a gardening year that didn’t start off with it. I must have hyacinths on vase in January.

What? You didn’t buy any hyacinths bulbs this past fall? You don’t own a hyacinth vase? Well, you are in luck! I saw some hyacinth vase kits with a vase and a pre-chilled bulb for sale just the other day at one of our big box stores, right next to the marked down amaryllis bulbs. Surely there is a store near you that also has them! Go today and check. Get one, get two.

Hyacinth degradation is very serious, this is a normal issue, the general cultivation of 2-3 years to buy on the need for new updates. And breakthroughs are now actively studying the issue.

Your reason for soaring hyacinth leaves appear, I think not only the degradation problems, keep your environment does have a very close relationship, illumination sufficient to ensure that leaves a bit short, Zhuang more, flower-yan more.

Now there had been a spent, and can be planted in the soil until the end of six months, the upper leaves wither, after all, from the earth dug out, removing dirt, dead leaves, after drying, after a little collection in a cool dry place, Qiumodongchu is to be re-planted.

Hyacinth future, do not water culture, it is recommended pot the best hydroponic aging faster. Soil culture under controlled conditions in order to give birth to a small ball, and planted in the autumn, it will cue ball around the separation of sub-goals down, respectively, planting, cultivating 2-3 years to bloom. Knot types can also be planted after pollination, the main attention to timely Seed, early harvesting and development of immature seeds; late seed easily scattered, to do with the on-demand webcasting, cultured 4-5 years to blossom, this method Multi-used cross-breeding.

(A) the morphological characteristics and species

Herbaceous perennial bulb type, bulb ovoid, with membranaceous skin, color and color film into a positive correlation. Ye 4 ~ 8, narrow-lanceolate, fleshy, concave groove on, green bright. Flower-bearing stem succulent, long 15 cm to 45 cm, raceme Ting-sheng, floret 10 ~ 20 dense upper, horizontal or down-tilt, funnel-shaped perianth tubular, the upper 4 crack, anti-roll, there are purple, rose red, pink, yellow, white and blue color, aroma. Capsule. Natural florescence 3 April. Horticultural varieties have 2 more than 000, according to its color, roughly divided into blue, pink, white, purple, yellow, crimson, red and other seven strains.

(B) Ecological Habits

Country of origin along the Mediterranean coast and Asia Minor, hi sunny and more humid environment, demand good drainage and fertile sandy loam. Than the cold in the winter warmer areas roots in autumn, early spring shoots unearthed in March blossom, ripe fruit in late May, early June to enter hibernation withered aerial parts. In the dormant period for flower bud differentiation, differentiation proper temperature of around 25C, differentiation of a month or so. Elongation after flower bud differentiation to have a month or so before the low-temperature phase, the temperature should not exceed 13C. Bulb flower buds were differentiated goods.

(C) propagation method

To-point propagation mainly breeding seed multiplication time.

1. Sub-breeding in June put the ball bulbs dug back, it will separate the large ball and sub-goals, the “big ball early spring to autumn planting later flowering, sub-goals need to train three years to flower. Hyacinth natural-point due to the low rate, the general mother plant Planting a year later only meristematic l ~ 2 sub-goals, in order to enhance the propagation coefficient, can be a period of dormancy during the summer with the big ball castration surgery, to stimulate the son of the ball it grow. its methods, in the flower buds have been formed between August to the bottom of the stem and bulb evenly dig up the first part of the disc, so that stem wound concave disc, and then from the bottom-up aspect of all cut back, showing cross-incision, deep inside the bulb until the bud heart, when there will be outflow of mucus , the application of 0.1% mercuric chloride water, smear disinfection, and then placed under the hot sun exposure l ~ 2 hours, and then shared equally in the room. room temperature is to maintain 21C or so, to produce callus, the base to be enlarged scale, the temperature gradually rose to 30 C, relative humidity 85%, about three months that the formation of many small bulbs. This induced a small bulb bloom for 3 to 4 years.

2. Seed propagation in cultivating new varieties of multi-use in the autumn sowing into the cooling bed in the cultivation of soil, the casing 1 cm germination the following year by the end of January early February. Seedling cultivation of small bulbs, 4 ~ 5 years after flowering. Seed germination under normal storage conditions, force can be maintained for 3 years.

(D) cultivation techniques

Hyacinth should choose good drainage and less suitable dry sandy loam, neutral to slightly alkaline, plant before Shizujifei, Daejeon cultivation, even for bogey. Cultivation methods are open field cultivation, potted plants, to promote cultivation and water to keep.

1. Yong cultivation appropriate for 10 to 11 months with select well-drained soil is the most important condition. Pre-implantation Shizujifei above plus a thin layer of sand, and then arrange bulbs, spacing in the rows 15 cm to 18 cm, soil covering 5 cm ~ 8 cm. And Mulching to keep the soil loose and moist. Usually no other management before flowering, after flowering if it will not close the seeds should be cut inflorescence characteristics in order to promote development of bulbs, cut off location should be at the top of scape. In early June bulbs can be dug up, spread, grading storage in the cold, the summer temperatures should not exceed 28C.

2. Pot with soil, Fu Yetu, co-Nutrient soil mixed with sand, etc., generally 10 cm diameter pot a ball, 15 cm diameter pot 2 or 3 balls, and then pots in the earth, its overlaying soil 10 cm ~ 15 cm, after 7 ~ 8 weeks, Ya Zhang to 10 cm above to the casing so that sunlight, generally 10 to November planting, flowering in March.

3. Water to keep containers placed in the dark water Zhongzhuang the election a large ball, so that the bottom bulbs immersed in water, when the roots up to 10 cm when the shift in the Ming Chu, so that sunlight, at room temperature to maintain 15C or so, in October planting, by the end of the is expected to blossom.

4. After forcing culture in late July, the bulbous 8C of the low temperature treatment with 70 ~ 75 days, and then in early October potted plants cultivated in the greenhouse, you can make it the end of flowering. Because of its cultivated varieties vary greatly contributed to the sensitivity, so the line should be chosen to promote cultivation of suitable varieties to promote use.
