In the first place, always utilize proper and healthy bulbs. For healthy bulbs, make sure to obtain firm and bulky bulbs with no damage or mold. Large bulbs produce flowers better, hence utilize as many big bulbs as possible.

Hyacinths prefer cold weather, and thus the best time to plant them in India is during October and December. This is due to the fact that they get sufficient time to grow properly before heat begins to prevail.

Hyacinths prefer well-draining soil to avoid root rot. Garden soil, sand, and compost should be mixed. The soil should be loose and fertile. If the soil is heavy, loosen it before planting.

Plant 4- to 6-inch-deep bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards. Plant them at least 4 inches apart so they will have room to expand. Fill in soil and water lightly. Can pot in white square pots

As hyacinths love cold, you might have to simulate that. You can achieve this by pre-cooling the bulbs in the fridge for 6 to 8 weeks before planting them. Place them in a paper bag somewhere else besides fruits and vegetables so the fruits and vegetables will give off gases that would kill the bulbs.

Water bulbs only upon planting. Let the soil remain lightly moist but not wet. Excess water causes rot, so water very sparingly when the soil surface is dry. Hyacinths do not require a lot of watering after planting.

Hyacinth Bulbs Flowers require a minimum of 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Give them some dappled afternoon shade in hot conditions to prevent scorching them in strong sun.

Take a balanced liquid feed in the case of shoots. Offer fortnightly feeds to well-grown plants and good flowers.

Check for pests such as snails and aphids. Repel with organic pesticides or neem oil. Also, avoid over-moisturizing to avoid fungal infection.

Hyacinths flower in early spring, with flowers lasting one week or two. Let the leaves dry out on their own naturally once the flowers have wilted, and then dig up the bulbs. You can leave the bulbs in a cold place and plant them again next year.

Hyacinths can grow very well in India under proper care. If kept well, you can enjoy their beautiful fragrance and colours every year.
