Hi, I love those beads. The colors make a very pretty contrast to the plant. I have a question. Some time ago I bought two Hyacinths that were living and growing in water. The vase narrows to where the bulb can sit and the roots hang down in the water. The instructions stated to keep the water level at 75% of the bottom part of the vase. This worked out well even though once the plants got to blooming they became top heavy and had to be braced. I know you should leave the foliage for a while even when wilted to feed the bulb but how long should I leave this foliage. It is staying greener in the house than it would have outside but it doesn't look so pretty all wilted down and should I leave the bulb with the roots in the water or store it to let it rest?
Thanks, Amber
