How to grow daffodils

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Daffodils prefer loose and well-structured soil, and can use breathable and fertile sandy loam.

2. Water: It has high requirements for water. Sufficient water must be ensured during its growth period, and water must be reduced after it matures because its metabolism is relatively weak at this time. You can even stop watering depending on the moisture level of the soil.

3. Fertilization: During the bud formation period, nutrients will be almost completely consumed, so apply appropriate amounts of fertilizer during its growth period.

4. Light: Give it about 10 hours of light every day, especially during the growth period. In autumn and winter, you can place it directly outdoors to receive sunlight.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Seeding propagation: Put the prepared soil into the seedbed, then put the seeds into the seedbed and cover them with a layer of sand, water them and cover them with white glass, then put them in a ventilated place, spray them with water once every 2 days, and after the seeds germinate, uncover the white glass and expose them to the sun appropriately. After the seedlings grow about 2 true leaves, transplant them. In autumn, they can be taken out and transplanted in the open field.

2. Propagation by dividing bulbs: Dry the dug bulbs in the sun for about 2 days, and then place them in a ventilated location. Large-scale cultivation is generally carried out in open-field seedbeds, and seedlings will emerge in about a month.

3. Common pests and diseases

1. Basal rot: The bulbs will appear brown and rotten, and even the entire bulbs will become rotten. You can soak the bulbs with carbendazim before planting.

2. Nematode disease: When the leaves and flower stems are infected, stripes will appear and the leaves will wither. This disease can be prevented by dipping them in formaldehyde before planting.
