What to do after daffodils bloom

Maintenance and management of daffodils after they bloom

Most daffodils, under suitable conditions, will begin to grow buds in just two weeks, and the flowering period can last for about half a month. Generally, after the flowering period, the daffodils will begin to wither, and around the end of February, the daffodils will completely wither. The maintenance methods for daffodils after the flowering period are as follows:

1. Pruning : After the flowering period of daffodils, it is necessary to cut off the remaining leaves on the bulbs in time, and then bury the bulbs in the soil, so that daffodils will continue to grow next year.

2. Fertilization : The plant will consume a lot of nutrients when it blooms. At this time, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added once a week after the flowering period, which will be conducive to the growth of small bulbs.

3. Ventilation : After the daffodils have bloomed, you should pay attention to ventilating them more often so that their roots can breathe more fresh air, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of the plants.

4. Watering : After the daffodils have bloomed, soak the bulbs in water for about a day and then plant them in the soil, and they will grow faster.

5. Soil : After the flowering period of daffodils, the soil needs to be replaced to avoid soil hardening and hindering the growth of daffodils.

Daffodil flowering time

Under normal circumstances, daffodils will bloom around January every year, and will only bloom once a year. Each flowering period is relatively short, lasting about 7 days.
