Hyacinthus orientalis aka Hyacinth

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Hyacinth, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Hyacinth should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Hyacinth loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Hyacinth prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Hyacinth is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

No additional humidity is required for the Hyacinth. Plants take in most of their water through their roots, not their leaves, therefore, watering the soil is the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants.

Repotting the Hyacinth is necessary either when it has doubled in size or once every year, whichever happens first. With fresh potting soil replenished annually, the plant will receive all the necessary nutrients, rendering the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that the source of a plant's energy is the sun, not fertilizer.

The Hyacinth is a clump-forming species, with new growth originating from the soil surrounding the main plant.

Hyacinth’s native range is the eastern Mediterranean.
