As one of the most common New Year flowers, daffodils are loved by many flower lovers. Even if many friends don't like to grow flowers and plants at other times, they will buy one or two daffodil bulbs to plant during the Chinese New Year. Many people will let the daffodils grow too tall during the process of growing them. So how can you make the daffodils grow thicker instead of taller? Let’s take a look below. 1. Lighting management Daffodils prefer bright light, but too much direct sunlight may cause them to grow too tall. Placing the daffodils in a location that has plenty of sunlight but is not too bright, such as an indoor balcony or semi-shaded location, can control the speed at which they grow upward. 2. Temperature management Daffodils grow best in cooler temperatures. Keeping the room temperature moderate and avoiding excessively high ambient temperatures will help inhibit its growth rate. While the daffodils are dormant, they can be placed in a cooler location to encourage shorter, stubbier growth. 3. Apply fertilizer appropriately Control the nutrient supply to your daffodils to avoid excess nitrogen fertilizer. Too much nitrogen fertilizer can cause plants to grow too quickly, resulting in tall stems. Choose a fertilizer suitable for indoor plants or flowers and apply the appropriate amount according to the product instructions. 4. Control moisture Maintain moderate watering and avoid overly wet soil. Narcissus is a succulent plant and is sensitive to overly wet soil. When watering, make sure to wait until the soil surface is slightly dry before watering again. Maintain moderate moisture but avoid standing water. 5. Prune regularly Regular pruning of the stems can control the height of the daffodils and encourage the growth of side branches. Pruning before the plant goes dormant or after it finishes blooming can help create thicker stems and increase the dwarfing effect of the plant. 6. Choose the right variety Different narcissus varieties have different growth habits and appearance characteristics. When choosing a narcissus variety, look for those that are naturally shorter and have thicker stems. Consult a local gardening professional or floral expert for more specific advice. Keep in mind that the growth rate and characteristics of daffodils are affected by a variety of factors, including environmental conditions, variety selection, and proper care. Adjusting these factors and approaches may require some experimentation and adjustment to achieve the most ideal results.
