Key points for daffodil care

1. Water appropriately

Daffodils do not need too much water, just make sure the water just covers the roots, just like giving them a "foot bath" instead of a "bath".

2. Adequate lighting

Daffodils need plenty of sunlight to produce their large, fragrant flowers.

3. Temperature control

Daffodils prefer a cool environment, and the suitable growth temperature is between 10-20℃. Avoid placing daffodils near high temperatures or direct heat sources as this may affect flowering.

4. Fertilization

Although daffodils do not require much fertilizer , applying some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the growth period can promote flowering and make the flowers more colorful.
