Narcissus is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Amaryllidaceae family. It is one of the top ten famous flowers in China and a traditional ornamental flower. Because the bulbs look like onions and garlic, it was called "Ya Garlic" in the Six Dynasties. Most narcissus petals are 6, white, with light yellow ends, and are fragrant. Now let’s talk about how to plant narcissus .
Planting time
It is best to plant daffodils in the autumn from September to October. During this period, the climate is relatively cool, which is suitable for the growth of bulbs and can ensure a high survival rate. The hot summer months of July and August are the dormant period of narcissus, and root rot is prone to occur after planting.
bulb processing
Choose healthy and plump bulbs. Generally choose bulbs that are large, undamaged, and free of diseases and insect pests. Remove the dry outer skin, wash them clean, expose the young shoots, and then remove the old roots. If possible, soak them in the carbendazim solution for about 10 minutes, and then take them out for potting.
How to cultivate narcissus in soil
Choose high-quality soil
If the pot soil has poor air permeability and high water retention, it will cause root rot of narcissus. The soil can be mixed with half coarse river sand and half nutritious soil, so that the soil will be very loose and breathable, with very good water permeability. Dig a small hole. The depth should not be too deep. It is best to be within 2 times of the planting bulb. After planting, cover it with soil and spray water to moisturize it.
A warm and comfortable environment promotes growth.
The environmental conditions for planting daffodils are very important. They have strong vitality and prefer half shade to cold. The suitable growth temperature is 16-18 degrees. During the growth period, sufficient light is required so that the leaves are thick, wide and tall, and the leaves are crisp green and have a fragrant floral fragrance.
Water cultivation method of narcissus
Place the processed daffodil bulbs in a vase, and pour water to a reasonable water level. Place the daffodils in a ventilated and diffused environment, give them more than 6 hours of light exposure, and keep them at a temperature of 20°C. Change the water regularly to keep the water clean, add nutrient solution appropriately and pay attention to the concentration. Generally, it takes about 50 days to bloom after planting (put it in a cool and ventilated place to extend the flowering period). Once the flower buds appear, you cannot change the water frequently. You can change it once a week or so.
The above is how to grow daffodils. I hope it will be helpful to flower lovers.
