Soil culture method

Soil culture method 1

The method of open field planting is very simple, just 3 steps:

Prepare the bulbs, clean them, and disinfect them with carbendazim.

Place the hyacinth directly on the soil, burying 1/3 of the bulb in the soil. Do not bury it too deep to affect the growth of the root system.

Do not water too much after planting, just keep the soil moist and expose it to more sunlight to help the hyacinth take root faster. Watering once every 4 to 5 days after rooting can promote the growth of flower buds.
