A bulb of daffodils sold in offline flower markets costs about 3 to 5 yuan. For narcissus sold online, you can buy five or six bulbs for 7 or 8 yuan. The price sold online is even cheaper. You can see the actual quality of the bulbs offline. In fact, the same maintenance is required when you buy it home.
The maintenance of narcissus is very simple. You only need to put it in a basin and put it in the sun. It will take about 1 to 2 months to bloom. The petals of narcissus are white, which is suitable for placing in the living room and can have a certain decorative effect. However, there is a very big problem in cultivating narcissus , that is, the leaves of narcissus tend to become leggy.
When the leaves of daffodils are too long, their flower arrows will not grow out, which will seriously affect the flowering. Bulb Plants, many varieties will have arrow pinching problems. Another example is Clivia . During the maintenance period, there are insufficient nutrients and insufficient light. It is also easy to pinch arrows. In order to effectively prevent narcissus from pinching arrows, we need to perform the next step on it.
The narcissus bulb needs to be carved. Use a knife to cut off its excess scales. The purpose of removing the scales is to prevent the leaves from becoming too long and reduce its photosynthesis . After being carved, the growth rate of the narcissus bulb will become slower, and the new leaves will also curl up and grow. The leaves will be curved and will not be too long.
After carving, the overall growth height of the narcissus will not exceed 20 centimeters, and the flower stems will grow on time, and they can still bloom. They are more delicate on the table, the petals are smaller and cute, and the number of blooming petals can at least triple. If not carved, the leaves of the narcissus are likely to grow to 30 centimeters, just like onions and leeks.
Of course, if your balcony has enough light, you can do it without pruning and carving. The daffodils can still bloom, but the leaves will grow slightly taller. Each of the two different maintenance methods has its own benefits.
There are actually many ways to grow flowers, and you just have to keep trying. Because many people don't like the trouble, they just put the daffodils in the basin directly after buying them home. If you have enough time, you can search for a tutorial on the Internet and follow the tutorial to carve the daffodils. It is best to wear gloves during the carving process. The bulbs of daffodils contain a lot of plant alkaloids, so do not get them on the skin.
