Growing Hyacinth Bulbs In Water

This is the first time I tried to grow some spring flower bulbs indoors, like tulips and hyacinth and I am very pleased with the results. The hyacinth bulbs did well in the water and bloomed nicely. I bought the bulbs from a garden store and kept it outside for a month, then first week of November I took a vase and I just added small rocks from the garden. Before adding the rocks, I washed the rocks. I then added the hyacinth bulbs and then added the water up till the bottom of the hyacinth bulbs. After a week it started to root, and after few weeks it started to bloom. I planted five hyacinth bulbs, out of those five, the first and second bloomed pink and the rest came out purple. Our living room filled with the great fragrance of hyacinth. It started to bloom in December still in the middle of February I have the bloom, so I am planning to do next year also! I hope you try this next winter.

Here are the pictures of our hyacinth flowers:

What do I do Indoor Hyacinth bulbs once done blooming – Aji's Home

April 24, 2024

[…] Every year in winter, I grow hyacinth bulbs in water. Usually, they start to bloom at the end of December, and the flowers stay until the end of February. Once they are done, I do not throw away the bulbs. I wait for spring and plant them in the ground. They will not bloom again in the same year, but they will bloom in the next season. While planting, don’t cut the green leaves; some bulbs may not have green leaves, they change into yellow, don’t worry, plant them just like that. In the next season, it will surprise you with big blooms. The pictures below are from our garden. Here is the link to how to grow hyacinth bulbs in water. […]
