What are the methods for propagating hyacinth? Is hyacinth easy to propagate?

1. What are the breeding methods?

1. Seed propagation: Seed propagation is not commonly used in daily life. It is generally used to cultivate new varieties and is sown in autumn. Choose suitable seeds and do not choose seeds that have been stored for too long, otherwise it will affect germination. Prepare a sand bed, sow the seeds, and cover them with a layer of soil (it doesn't need to be too thick, about 1 cm). Maintain a warm environment, and they will germinate in January or February of the following year.

2. Bulb division propagation: Bulb division propagation is more commonly used. You can choose bulbs with larger bulbs, which can be observed intuitively. Dig them out in June, then break off the bulblets, try to ensure that the broken bulblets are intact, prepare suitable substrate, and then cultivate them, paying attention to the later maintenance and management. Because the natural bulb division rate of hyacinth is relatively low, certain means can be used to stimulate the growth of bulblets. In August, which is the summer dormancy period, flower buds have formed. At this time, the large bulbs can be castrated to promote the formation of small bulbs.

2. Is it easy to breed?

Hyacinths are relatively easy to propagate if you master the correct methods and create a suitable growing environment. If you don't want to go through the hassle of growing them on a daily basis, you can directly purchase bulbs for cultivation.
