Had this hyacinth Christmas 2023 which flowered ok, put in greenhouse until couple of weeks ago when it had one flower so brought it inside and put on bathroom window.

No sign of any new flower heads and the green stems are starting to fall over.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong and how to correct it would be welcome.

Evening Colin, a bit late for this year but, once flowering has finished, cut off the dead flower heads with as much of the stalk as possible, then keep giving them a liquid feed, until the leaves die down, (tomato feed will do)….. they need the feed at this time, to produce the flowering bud, inside the bulb ready for the next season!
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
