The maintenance of hyacinths after flowering is the key to ensuring their healthy growth and the ability to bloom again the following year. Here are some detailed suggestions for post maintenance of hyacinth flowers: 1. Timely cut off residual flowers
Timing: Within one or two weeks after the flowers have completely withered, to ensure that the hyacinths have enough time to transfer nutrients to the underground parts.
Method: Use clean scissors to cut off the remaining flowers from the base of the stem, avoiding damage to other parts of the plant during the pruning process. 2、 Control watering amount
Moderate watering: Keep the soil moderately moist to avoid root rot caused by excessive moisture. You can insert your fingers into the soil to feel the humidity, and then water it when the soil surface is dry.
Avoid waterlogging: Ensure that the planting container has good drainage performance to prevent the roots from being soaked in water for a long time. 3、 Reasonable fertilization
Topdressing: Within one week after cutting off the flower spikes, apply liquid fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium to promote root growth and nutrient absorption.
Foliar fertilizer spraying: Spray foliar fertilizer every 10 to 15 days. Fertilizers containing trace elements and organic matter can help promote plant growth.
Avoid excessive fertilization: Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging and regularly clean the soil to avoid fertilizer accumulation. 4、 Pay attention to temperature and lighting
Temperature control: After the flowering period, hyacinths enter a dormant period. At this time, the plants need to be placed in a relatively cool environment, with a suitable temperature range of 15 to 18 degrees Celsius.
Light management: Reducing the stimulation of light on plants during dormancy can help promote dormancy and nutrient accumulation. Place the plants in areas with weaker light and avoid exposure to strong sunlight. 5、 Other maintenance measures
Regular weeding: Reduce competition from weeds for hyacinth, maintain soil moisture and breathability.
Patience in waiting for dormancy: Hyacinth needs to accumulate nutrients and energy during dormancy, so do not rush to transplant or replant.
Prevention and control of pests and diseases: Regularly inspect plants, and take corresponding prevention and control measures in a timely manner if diseases or pests are found.
Reasonable pruning of leaves: After the end of the dormancy period, appropriate pruning of leaves is carried out to promote new leaf growth and better photosynthesis. 6、 Handling after hibernation period
Replanting: Autumn is a good time to replant hyacinths. Dig out the bulbs from the soil, prune the roots, air dry them, and then replant them in fertile, well drained soil.
Continue maintenance: Follow the above maintenance suggestions to water, fertilize, control temperature and light, and prepare for the next flowering of hyacinth.
The maintenance of hyacinth flowers involves multiple aspects, including cutting off residual flowers, controlling watering, applying fertilizers reasonably, paying attention to temperature and light, and other maintenance measures. Only by comprehensively and meticulously carrying out these tasks can we ensure the healthy growth of hyacinths and welcome their next beautiful bloom.
