danehill, if your Hyacinths are sprouting they definitely need ligh or they'll be pale and leggy. Keep them cool - they're really outdoor plants and don't like it too warm. Too much heat will make them leggy and floppy and they'll be martyrs to aphids. An unheated room would be ideal. You can bring them into your living room when they start flowering. As soo as the flowers go over, cut them off and return the pots to a cool plsce. Feed them for next year until the leaves start to die. Then you can plant them in the garden or keep them dry in their pots somewhere cool, like a shed. Don't forget to label them or you might accidentally throw them away. By the way, it would have been better to put them in a cool dark place rather than warm, but if they're sprouting they should be ok. Good luck for scent at christmas.
