发帖数: 13917 | 1 Forcing hyacinths to bloom in water was a Victorian passion that fell out of
favor in the twentieth century � perhaps because garden writers made
the pr
ocess seem more complicated and mysterious than it is. Hyacinth bulbs are ex
ceptionally eager to bloom and will do so with only the slightest encouragem
ent, providing a fragrant and long-lasting symbol of spring.
To force hyacinths, buy pre-chilled bulbs that have received a cold treatmen
t imitating winter. The best varieties for forcing are Dutch hyacinths such
as the rose-pink 'lady Derby,' ' the lilac-blue 慏elft Blue,� the
deep-red 慗
an Bos,� and the pure-white 慍arnegie.� Dutch hyacinths are
also great peren
nial bulbs for the garden. If you don抰 like the formality of their tight bl
ooms, remember that the blooms loosen over the years, a feature that Martha
loves.
Preparation
Store hyacinth bulbs in cool, damp sand until you are ready to force them. T
he bulbs will flower about 6 weeks after you put them in water, so if you ne
ed blossoms for an occasion, count backward to determine the planting time.
This is not an exact science, so start plenty of bulbs over the course of 2
weeks to guarantee flowers for that special day.
1. Use forcing glasses, or choose containers that will hold the bulbs just a
bove the water and allow room for the roots below, but won抰 tip over when t
he big, heavy flowers arrive. Place a bulb on a vessel and add water until i
t reaches the bulb抯 bottom. You抣l need to change the water twice a week by
tipping the liquid out and replacing it with fresh lukewarm water.
2. Put the bulbs in a cool (40� F to 55� F), dark place until
roots develop
and leaves begin to sprout, about 3 to 4 weeks. Below 40� F, the
bulbs will
remain dormant. Above 55� F, they could rot. Basements and garages
often pro
vide the ideal conditions. Check the bulbs to be sure that the water level i
s high enough, and change the water periodically.
3. Once foliage begins to develop, move the bulbs to a slightly warmer (65&#
65533;
F), sunlit spot for flowering; a north-facing window is perfect. Turn them d
aily to prevent leaning, and change the water regularly. After about 2 weeks
, you will have gorgeous perfumed flowers that will last (in a cool spot) an
other 2 weeks. Once the blooms have browned and died, throw out the bulbs. W
ater forcing uses every scrap of energy a bulb has to offer, so the bulbs wi
ll not re-bloom. If you want another round of blooms, order more bulbs; it抯
a chance to try some different varieties. |

要不要挖几个出来，在室内试试。
HD现在还有半价的么？

的吗？ |

发帖数: 13917 | 10 呵呵，这个室内也可以养殖。但是，花完花，那个
小球茎里面的energy也都耗尽了，不会rebloom。
种室外的，因为有阳光，开完花会继续存储养料，供给bulb，
所以第二年还会接着开花。
不过，开几年也就慢慢不行了，跟tulips似的

发帖数: 1973 | 12 花班， 这个花真很刺鼻。 我去年在家里种了。 始终不觉的好闻， 也没啥好看，可能
种在室内的缘故， 花长的很长， 最后就倒下了。 所以也没啥造型可言。

发帖数: 677 | 14 我来报告一下，一个月前叶子就张挺长了，后来不知道为什么就不长了，叶子看起来还
是那个样子，根本没有花茎出来。很受打击。
同法种的水仙发了一个小小的芽，长得超慢啊，比风信子还不如。
看来水陪不容易！ |

我以前弄过。大概总共6个头的 样子。估计是因为温度的原因，有的长的不错 ，有的
就花茎没有钻好，夭折了。
