If planted in a container, we recommend you plant them with their neck exposed. If you are planting the hyacinth in the garden the bulbs should be a little deeper to keep them protected from the warm sun. Once planted, add mulch to insulate the bulb against warmth and preserve moisture. The lowest temperature this plant can tolerate is -15°C.\u003cbr\u003eThe bulbs can be planted hydroponically as long as the base does \u003cu\u003enot\u003c\/u\u003e touch the water. The roots will be encouraged by the cold to grow through the pebbles in the glass bowl and into the water on their own. Start this process in a cold and shaded place. Once the root is 5cm, move the plant into an area that has some shade and is cool.\u003cbr\u003eHyacinth will flower for a longer period if left outside at night for the cold air. If they do not receive enough light, the stems will stretch.\u003cbr\u003eYou should provide the plant with regular watering during its growing season. In spring, the temperature is usually too warm in South Africa and the bulbs should be removed and discarded after flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the South African climate, seed production is unlikely to occur.
