Cultivation methods and precautions of potted daffodils

Farming methods

There are some tips to selecting narcissus bulbs. First of all, you have to look at the size. Generally, those over 8 cm are the best (first-class). Good bulbs are ring-shaped and oblate, as hard as a fan, with relatively wide stripes on the surface. They have bulblets but will not bloom. The second thing to look at is the color. Dark brown and shiny ones are the best. If it feels soft when pressed, the bulb is not good.

The bulb period is from September to October, and the materials needed for potting soil are leaf mold, river sand, original soil, etc., which should be mixed evenly. Use organic fertilizer as base fertilizer, and only plant one plant every 2-3 cm, then place it in a well-ventilated and sunny place.

FAQ

Drying

When you buy daffodil heads, you should place them on a south-facing balcony to dry in the sun for two days so that the skin will dry and loosen.

soak

Remove the brown film and old roots, and soak them in clean water for two to three days to allow them to fully absorb moisture.

Cutting

After new roots grow, make a cut on both sides of the terminal bud, squeeze the cut wound, and then clean it to prevent the surface from turning yellow.
