How to choose South American narcissus bulbs

Look at the shape

The bulbs of high-quality South American narcissus bulbs are larger, generally flat and hard, with wide longitudinal veins on the epidermis, a tight middle membrane, shiny skin, a broad and thick root disk, and symmetrical small bulbs growing beside the main bulb.

Color

High-quality bulbs are bright in color, usually dark brown. In addition, the capsule is intact and there are no signs of rot or insect damage.

Pressing feel

Pressing can be used to determine the number of flower arrows, which is one of the important methods for selecting South American narcissus bulbs. After pinching the bulb between your thumb and index finger, press it slightly. If it feels columnar, solid and elastic, it is usually the flower arrow, while if it feels soft, less elastic and has a flat outline, it is usually the leaf bud.
