The "Five Fears" of Narcissus Cultivation

Afraid of being near ripe fruit

Gases such as ethylene released by ripe fruits such as bananas can cause daffodils to wither prematurely and shorten their flowering period.

2. Afraid of using iron containers for immersion

Daffodils cannot be grown in iron containers, but can be grown in containers made of ceramic, plastic, glass and other materials. Otherwise, the rusted iron will cause the water from the rusted iron to cause the flower buds and the injured roots to rot.

Three fear of using saline water for immersion

It is best to use well water, rainwater, river water or river water to grow daffodils hydroponically. Tap water can also be used, but it needs to be clarified in the container 2 to 3 days in advance.

Fear of extreme temperatures

The water temperature should be moderate, not too high or too low, about 4℃ to 25℃ is appropriate, and the optimal temperature is 15℃ to 18℃. When the temperature is too high, the leaves will grow too long, the flowers will have dull color and the flower stalks will be short.

Five fears: dirty leaves

The leaves must be kept clean during the immersion period, otherwise it will not only affect the appearance but also weaken photosynthesis. You can spray the plant with water every day to maintain the water balance in the plant, make the leaves shiny and beautiful, and facilitate photosynthesis.
