Totalgreen Fragrant Hyacinth On Glass Grow Kits

A: Hi Neighbor- Step-by-Step Growing Guide Prep the Vase: Fill the provided glass vase with clean water. The water level should sit just about \(5\text{ mm}\) below the bottom of the bulb.Pro-Tip: Add a small piece of activated charcoal to the water to prevent it from getting cloudy and stop algae from growing. Position the Bulb: Rest your hyacinth bulb in the neck of the glass with the pointy end facing up. Never force the bulb down into the water; if it sits directly in the water, it will easily rot. The Chilling Period: Place the entire glass setup in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated space, such as a basement, cellar, or refrigerator crisper drawer.Warning: Keep the bulb far away from bowls of fruit (especially apples and bananas), as the ethylene gas they emit will ruin the bulb's growth. Maintenance: Check the water level weekly and top it off to maintain that \(5\text{ mm}\) gap below the bulb. Introduce to Light: Leave the bulb in the dark for about 8 to 10 weeks. Once you see strong root development and a green shoot that is roughly \(3-4\text{ inches}\) (\(7-10\text{ cm}\)) tall, it is ready to come out into the light. Blooming and Care: Move the vase to a brightly lit room with diffused, indirect sunlight. Direct, harsh sunlight will cause the flowers to fade prematurely. Prevent Leaning: Because plants naturally lean toward the light source, make sure to rotate your vase by a quarter turn every few days so your stem grows straight and strong.

A: Hi Neighbor! Yes, this could potentially be grown in a pot outside after it has bloomed indoors, but it should be planted in soil first and moved to a suitable outdoor location after the last frost. It's important to transition the bulb into a pot with soil, not just keep it in the glass, so it can establish roots for future growth.
