How to care for hyacinth in winter

Is hyacinth afraid of cold?

The suitable temperature for hyacinth growth is generally around 25℃, which is the most ideal temperature for flower bud differentiation. Because hyacinth is relatively cold-resistant, it is not very afraid of freezing in winter.

Hyacinth has a certain degree of cold resistance. As long as it is well maintained, it will basically not be frozen to death. If you feel worried, you can move the plant indoors in time and control the temperature.

How to care for hyacinth in winter

1. If you want to grow hyacinths more vigorously indoors in winter, it is best to choose loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil for cultivation, and place it in a location with sufficient light in the greenhouse. At the same time, the air humidity around the plant should be kept at around 80%, and the humidity can be increased by spraying or sprinkling water on the ground.

2. In addition, hyacinths can be moved indoors in time for maintenance in winter, and the indoor temperature should be kept at around 10 degrees Celsius. Because the sunlight is not strong in winter, you can place it directly in a well-lit place indoors to receive sufficient light.

3. In addition, the growth rate of hyacinth slows down in winter, and its requirements for water and nutrients are not very high, so the plants need to reduce watering in winter, and fertilization can be reduced, or even no fertilization can be applied.

4. Hyacinths can bask in the sun in winter. Hyacinths need sufficient light in winter because the sun is relatively mild. Generally, they need to receive sunlight throughout the day, which is beneficial to their growth and wintering.

Precautions for growing hyacinth in winter

When growing hyacinths in winter, be sure not to water them too much, otherwise water will accumulate in the potting soil of the plant, which can easily cause root rot or even death of the plant.

Although hyacinths can withstand short-term frost in the northern winter, it is best to move them indoors. However, most areas in the north have heating, and if the temperature in the growing environment is too high, it will interfere with its growth. They can be placed on the balcony, which can ensure a good temperature and sunlight.
