Muscari armeniacum aka Grape Hyacinth

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

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

Grape 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 Grape 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.

During the wintertime, it is common for Grape Hyacinth plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

Grape Hyacinth is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

Once the Grape Hyacinth has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Grape Hyacinth as it grows vertically.
