Copperas Cove, Tx 76522Q.Hyacinths in water
Last year I purchased a hyacinth that was in water; I noticed just the other day that the roots had detached from the bulb, is this normal? Should I plant in soil or can I keep it in the vase with water?

Certified ExpertA.The roots detaching is not good. It is a sign that the water was stagnant for too long. I recommend changing this every other day, or even better, daily. You can try and let it go dormant and store it but It might already be infected.

Hazlehurst Ga, 31539Q.Hyacinth not flowering
I have my hyacinths outdoors in the ground. They bloomed really pretty the first two years, and now they some plants only has one little tiny bloom. Some don't bloom at all. Is there anything I can do to make them bloom?

Certified ExpertA.It could be that the soil is lacking phosphorus or potassium, or the pH is off, which can lead to the same symptoms.
I would advise adding dolomitic lime to the soil to help the pH, as well as potassium phosphate. If you cannot get this where you are, or online then fertilizers that are high in potassium and phosphorus will be fine.

March 6, 2018Q.What to do with a forced hyacinth bulb in water vase after bloom is done
I purchased a hyacinth bulb in a glass vase with water on January 27 at my grocery store. It grew a beautiful flower. I've recently cut the flower bloom off since it was faded and browned. All I have now is the green leaves along with two daughter shoots. It's still growing very well in the same vase with water. This plant was forced into blooming as if it was spring time. The roots are still intact and healthy. I'd like to keep this plant for a long time growing in it's own pot with possible soil. Please advise me on how to do this.

Certified ExpertA.You can easily plant these in soil. Start with moist soil, and place the bulbs in until they are about 3 to 5 inches from the top. Cover with more moist soil to the top.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, you will want to wait until the growth is almost completely dead before cutting off. After this, you will not want to water them until they have gone through a dormancy period of a month or two.
