How to grow daffodils

Narcissus is a plant of the Amaryllidaceae family. It generally has side balls, side buds, double scales, and tissue culture reproduction methods. It is suitable for warm and humid climatic conditions, likes plenty of sunlight, has strong vitality, and likes fertile sandy soil.

Daffodils prefer coolness in the early stage of their growth, are slightly cold-resistant in the middle stage, and prefer warmth in the later stage. Therefore, appropriate warming measures need to be taken in winter, and cooling measures need to be taken in summer to avoid the ambient temperature being too low or too high.

Watering method

During the period of water cultivation of daffodils, the water quality must be guaranteed and the water must be changed frequently. After the roots grow out, the frequency of water changes should be reduced. The specific number of water changes depends on the cleanliness of the water quality.

Fertilization method

Before the daffodils take root, you should add appropriate nutrient solution to promote faster rooting of the bulbs. During the rapid growth period, you can apply nutrient solution every one to two weeks to promote better growth.

Pruning methods

During the growth process of daffodils, it is easy for them to have weak branches and leaves, or withered leaves due to improper maintenance. These need to be cut off cleanly. The plants also need to be pruned after the flowering period. After the dead flowers and leaves are trimmed cleanly, the bulbs can be better preserved.

Precautions for growing daffodils

During the cultivation process of daffodils, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining good ventilation so that the air can circulate normally. This can prevent the breeding of pests and diseases and is beneficial to the growth of the plants.

When caring for daffodils, you need to ensure that the surrounding environment is suitable, so that they can bloom in about 25-30 days. However, if the environment is not suitable, it may take two months to bloom.
