How to propagate daffodils

1. Side ball breeding

The method of side bulb propagation is more common. The storage bulbs grow on both sides of the outside of the bulb and are only connected to the mother plant at the base. They are easier to break away from by themselves. They are separated and planted in autumn, and new bulbs will be produced the following year.

2. Lateral bud propagation

The so-called lateral buds are the buds wrapped in the bulb. Only when the bulb is castrated, the broken scales are dug out and separated from the mother body, and the white buds are picked out, and sown on the seedbed in autumn, new bulbs will be produced the following year.

3. Double scale reproduction

Double scale reproduction is a new method that has only begun to be used in recent years. The method is to place the bulb with two scales in an environment with a temperature of 4-10℃ for 4-8 weeks, then take it out and cut the bulb disk into small pieces at room temperature, ensuring that each piece has two scales, then cut off the upper end of the scale and leave only 2 cm as breeding material, and place it in a plastic bag with sand containing 6 (bf) of water. Seal it and place it in a dark place at a temperature of 20-28℃. New bulbs will grow in February and March.
