Is it a problem? Plants grow close together in the wild. Bulbs like hyacinths will keep doing that- bloom and die. So this will be just a pop of fun spring color for your spider plant.
@Somelady No it’s not a problem as long it won’t kill my spider plant. Which seems to be doing fine. When I planted it it was just a baby out of the little nursery pot. It seems to be thriving. I’m so mad!! I buy a few hyacinths EVERY spring. They are my favorite flower. I love they way they smell. But you get a couple weeks of enjoyment and then the the flowers die. So just throw them away. I never knew they come back!!! πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ Last year I decided to save some money reuse the pot and soil. And SURPRISE!!!! 🀣
Oh! Where I used to live in Washington grape hyacinths really thrive- so they would slowly take over beds or boarders. I love the look of volunteer hyacinths. Don’t throw out those bulbs, just hang on until next year!
@Somelady I’m in Connecticut. You can probably get the bulbs all year round. Idk. I never looked. Here you won’t see any flowers or even many bulbs any where past August except basic house plants, or mums and such in the fall, and Christmas plants in the poinsettias and such. And Bushes and trees. Maybe an orchid. Even most of our nurseries shut down. Or just sell fruit, veggies and herbs. At the first sign of spring the hyacinths, tulips and all the whatnots come out. Plants and flowers pop up everywhere. And I usually just grab a few hyacinths from the grocery store as soon as it’s warm enough to open the windows. οΏΌput them on my end tables and things in front of windows to enjoy the smell of the throughout the house and then throw them away after a couple weeks. Thinking that they don’t come back. It’s my β€œyaaaaaay spring is here”routine. But I know now! Lol I’ve been bypassing the ones that get marked down and go on clearance when the flowers have started to die, thinking it was pointless to buy. But This year I’m going to buy them all when they mark them down!! 🀣 🀣
Oh! Happy accident πŸ˜†
Bulbs are cool like that.
