Already then he earned attention and love with its aroma and beautiful blue flowers. In the 16th century, Hyacinth was brought to Europe, where the wet climate of the Netherlands came to his heart. At that time, hyacinths were already considered luxurious flowers worthy of only the highest society. In the 17th century, the gradual breeding of these plants began on an industrial scale, and in the 18th there were already more than 2 thousand varieties of hyacinths.

Currently, the main countries that are engaged in the export of hyacinths are the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Romantic Natures will probably like the beautiful history of the appearance of hyacinths. One of the heroes of Greek mythology was the name of Hyacinth. It was a young young man who was a favorite of Apollo and the God of West Wind. The God of Western Wind is very jealous of the hyacinth and accidentally during a workout on throwing a disk killed a young young man. At the place where his blood was, a beautiful flower grew up. Apollo called him in honor of his deceased beloved. So there was a flower called Hyacinth.

Hyacinth landing at home

Of course, I would like once the Hyacinth houses pleased with his beauty and fragrance every year. But this, unfortunately, is impossible. The usual and natural environment for this flower is an open soil. Home conditions can be lowered as close as possible to the hyacinth, more precisely for the distortion of the hyacinth bulb. Celling is an accelerated plant growth due to a complex of measures aimed at this. In the process of distillation, the bulbs are strongly depleted, they are pulled out and after the growth at home, hyacinth should be transplanted for 1-2 years in open ground. It will be a reducing period for the bulbs. If you wanted to grow hyacinth at home, then first you need to decide on the hyacinth grade. They are just a huge amount. They differ not only by the colorful and form of flowers, but also the time of the surveillance. If you know these features, you can grow a fragrant hyacinth to some special date. Or, putting several varieties of hyacinth with different periods of distillation, admire the incessant blossom from December to March-April. If you are determined with the variety, you can start landing.

1. Choose a suitable pot. The pot needs to be chosen according to the size of the bulbs. You can also put several bulbs in one pot at a distance of 2-2.5 cm.
2. Prepare drainage and substrate. The drainage layer is required. It can be purchased in specialized stores or just use a 2-3-cm sand layer. The substrate may consist of peat and sand or compost and sand.
3. We place the bulbs in the pot. It needs to be done correctly. In no case do not immerse the entire bulb in the substrate! 1/3 Part of the bulbs should remain over the earth. The substrate surface can be additionally sprinkled with sand layer to prevent dropping.
4. Watering the bulbs after landing. Watering immediately after the landing is simply necessary. It can be made not simple water, but a 0.2% calcium nitrate solution. Thanks to this cunning reception, future flowers will be strong and stable.
5. Create favorable conditions - "artificial autumn" at home. So, the bulbs you planted and poured. Half the case is made. Now it remains to create the most favorable conditions for future handsome hyacinths. The room in which the pots will be, should be dark and cool. The desired air temperature is + 5 .... + 9 degrees C. If there is very light in the room, then you can wear dark bags on pots. Such conditions will be as defined as close as possible to the conditions in the autumn garden. After the first shoots of 3-5 cm long appeared, you can gradually increase the ambient temperature for hyacinth. Enter it into the house if the pots were in the basement, the garage, for example. The desired temperature should be about 10-12 degrees. Do not take the pots immediately in too bright and sunny time. Flower need smooth adaptation. Let him stand a little later in a darkened place. Gradually move it closer and closer to the window. If the first buds appeared, then you can "resettled" the flower for permanent residence. Choose it not near the heating devices. The place must be quite illuminated and without drafts. Watch that the land does not drive. Like any bulbous plant, hyacinths do not tolerate water and excessive irrigation. Bulbs simply begin to rot.

No matter how beautiful the blooming hyacinths of the house are, make them bloom and the next year is impossible. But the bulb can be transplanted into open ground for 1-2 years, and then try again to grow it at home. If you decide to do so, the bulbs need to be preserved until autumn, because It is necessary to plant in the open soil in the fall. Even if the flowers have already been fighting, water and feed the plant until the leaves are faded. After that, get the bulbs, dry them out and put in a dry place. In the autumn you can land them into the soil.

Celling hyacinths in water

If you do not want to mess with the substrate, then you can draw hyacinths in water. To do this, you need to choose a suitable container. It should be with a wide and long neck. The water level should end in 1-2 cm to the bulbs. In the whole other, the rules of the distillation do not change: it is necessary to provide the same period of rest and cooling, as in the pasture in the soil. The only difference is that when water tanks are transferred to a room with a higher temperature, the sprouts themselves need to be left in priest. It will be possible to remove the packages when the sprouts reach a height of 10 cm.

Problems with the distortion of Hyacinth at home. Causes

Short bloomer

Short blooming significantly reduces the aesthetic value of hyacinth. Flowers can start flawed right in the outlet. What was done not and what is the reason? There may be several such reasons:

• insufficient watering. If the moisture is not enough, then the plant lacks forces, and, accordingly, the bloomon will not grow normal height;
• short rest period. No matter how quickly you want to do for Hyacinth "Spring" and quickly see the long-awaited flowers, it is impossible to shorten the time. It should be 90-95 days;
• too high temperature and too bright light immediately after the cooling period. The transition to high temperatures and bright light should be as smooth and gradual as possible.

Flashing of flowers and leaves

When attempting to grow hyacinths at home, such a situation may occur when trying to consider not yet seemed from the leaves of the flowers, by chance you have a falling leaf and small blooming in your hands. What is the cause of the death of the plant?

• Ring of bulbs. The bulb may start roting not only because of any misconceptions or unsuitable conditions. Perhaps the bulb was already initially not very high-quality, and you simply did not notice it.
• Church of the Earth Koma. Often this can occur in the cooling period. Perhaps you just have forgot about your hyacinths and allowed the heat drying. It is sometimes important to look under the package and maintain an earthen one in a slightly wet state.
• Disruption of temperature regime. As you already understood, when the house of the hyacinth of the house, the ambient temperature is one of the decisive factors. If you do not have a suitable room for organizing a resting period for hyacinths, it is better not to take this idea at all.

How to propagate the hyacinth house

Homemade hyacinths can be attempting to propagate. The easiest and most natural way of reproduction is the reproduction of subsidiaries. Why this method is the easiest? Yes, because it does not require any effort and special actions from a person. The bulb of Hyacinth with time forms "kids" - small bulbs that just need to be separated. But this method is simultaneously not the most popular. He is very slow, because One bulb during the year can give only about 4 "kids." Therefore, experimental flowers are more often using mechanical reproduction of hyacinths. The first of these is the cutting of the Donets. In the period of rest, it is necessary to carefully, using a teaspoon, cut the donom at the bulbs. This cut-out diagon must be stored a cut up at a temperature of +21 degrees. After about 2-3 months, the "kids" will appear on the slice - 20-40 pieces. Then this bulb together with the "kids" plant in a cool place. "Baby" give their leaves and after completing the growing season, they must be separated and planted for further reassembly. After 3-4 years, they will have their own blossoms. Another mechanical method of reproduction of hyacinths is the cutting of the Donets. This method differs from the previous one that the Donets are not cut, but are made in a bulb to 4 cuts a depth of 0.5-0.6 cm. Further storage is no different from the previous method. There is less "kids" on the bulb than when cutting the bottom. They can appear only from 8 to 15 things. But they will be much stronger and stronger. And the growing period is also reduced compared to the first method - 2-3 years.

Of course, there is a way of reproduction of hyacinth seeds. But it is usually used when removing new varieties. Seedlings bloom only on the 5-7th year. Therefore, this method is more common among breeders than among the gardeners.
