My Poor Plant

I bought a hyacinth on Easter and have it in my house. I water it just so the dirt gets moist every two days and put it outside in the sun for about 4-5 hours everyday. Now the little flowers on it are starting to wilt and they were BEAUTIFUL when I bought it just a week ago. What am I doing wrong? I have never been the greatest with plants, but thought I was doing pretty good with this one. Is there anything I can add to the water or something?

Sounds like you could be overwatering. Also, try leaving it outdoors to enjoy the sun permanently. These articles should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/hyacinth/planting-and-care-of-hyacinths.htm ^[1]
