With the onset of spring, many people have a desire to plant small pretty flowers in pots and place them around the apartment so that they can please their eyes with their beauty. Everyone chooses something of their own - someone snowdrop, someone geranium, and someone - hyacinths. And this is not surprising, because the persistence with which the arrows of hyacinths gain strength and stretch upwards, the speed with which they shoot in dense shaggy colors is really admirable. Saturated raspberry-violet gamut wakes up emotions and feelings that have calmed down over the long winter, and in the thick aroma of flowers the smell of near summer is still perceived. In addition, hyacinths are distinguished by a variety of colors. There are many different varieties, the color of the flowers which varies from pale white to yellow, pink, red, blue and purple. Therefore, anyone can choose a variety with a suitable color.
But it often happens like this: a small pot was taken for cultivation, and the plant grew and no longer fits in it. He needs a new capacity for growth and development. Then many flower growers have a question: "How to transplant hyacinth? Maybe there are some rules that cannot be broken so as not to lose your favorite flower?"
Indeed, there are several rules that should be followed.
How to transplant hyacinth ?
First, select the place where you will place the already transplanted plant. Much depends on where you decide to put the flower. For example, the shape of the pot, its color or material. This place should be warm and sunny - for example, the window sill on the south side of the house has such properties.
Next, you should buy land that you will fill in a new pot, because the previous one was smaller, therefore, there will not be enough land from there. The soil must be well fertilized, neutral or slightly alkaline. It is better if the soil is mixed with fertilizers in advance and settles, waiting for its time. It is even better to place it in a pot in advance, so that by the time the flower is transplanted, it has already managed to sag a little, otherwise its sediment after transplanting a hyacinth can cause a clipping of the roots of the flower. Of the fertilizers, sand, peat, humus, magnesium sulfate, superphosphate and potassium sulfate should be used .
Are you worried how to transplant hyacinth correctly? The third point of our actions will be the correct selection of transplant time. In general, all plants, not just hyacinth, should be replanted during that period until they bloom and bear fruit - that is, either in autumn or early spring. Of course, you can transplant in late spring and even summer, but then the likelihood that the plant will take root safely decreases significantly. The main thing is to provide abundant plant nutrition after transplantation during the flowering period. Hence the next point - feeding.
Now you know how to transplant hyacinth, and regular feeding is simply necessary if the hyacinth is transplanted during the flowering period. It will not be superfluous even if it is transplanted during the rest period. At the beginning of flowering, it is necessary to feed with a solution of some mineral fertilizer, and once again feed it after flowering. From time to time, you should water the flower with a solution of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
To prevent hyacinth disease by various fungal "ailments", experienced flower growers transplant it on a pillow of fine river sand. This is a very effective method that prevents the possibility of infection. At the bottom of the recess, in which hyacinth will be transplanted, sand is poured with a layer of 4-5 cm.
Immediately after transplantation, hyacinth should be poured with warm, settled in the sun, water, thereby creating the necessary humidity for the plant. It must be borne in mind that hyacinth suffers the stagnation of water worst of all, therefore it should be watered very carefully, not too zealously - and it does not matter before or after transplantation.
In general, to the question: “How to transplant hyacinth?” You can give the following answer: “Quite simple. There is nothing particularly complicated, transplanting hyacinth is easier compared to how to transplant geranium.” But more about that another time.
