About Calypso Hop 100 Seeds - Calypso Bulk Hop Rhizomes

How to Grow Calypso Hops Cuttings are taken from mature hop plants that can be used to propagate new hop plants. As a perennial plant, hops will grow back year-after-year producing cones for harvest in the late summer. Rhizomes are typically planted in the spring as soon as the soil is workable. Rhizomes are a living root, and should be kept moist until planted. If left submerged in water, or completely dry, it can be challenging for the plant to survive. It is recommended that rhizomes are misted occasionally to maintain proper moister levels. If the ground is not workable when the hop rhizome is received, we recommend rhizomes be kept in a cool, dark, and moist space. Soil should be well drained, to prevent stagnant water from sitting on the hop plant’s roots and causing rot. It is recommended that hops are planted in places with close to full sun exposure. Rhizomes can be planted in 3-5 inches below the surface, laying flat with growth heads pointing toward the sky. Hop plants should be planted at least three feet apart, with a wider gap between different varieties to help prevent tangling. While the plants are in their first year their root systems are underdeveloped, so keeping them regularly watered will help with their growth. Regular watering will encourage vibrant growth, especially during their first year in the ground. This means keeping the soil moist, but not saturated. It is important to let the soil drain between watering cycles. There are many ways to determine the right time for harvesting your hops. The easiest way is to use your sense of touch and smell. when the hop cones feel dry and papery, and smell vibrant, then it is likely time to pull them from the plant.
