Chinese narcissus needs to be cultivated for 2-3 years to bloom. It is planted in September to October when autumn comes. The leaves turn yellow in May of the following year, and the bulb enters dormancy in June. During the dormancy period, the bulb undergoes physiological and biochemical activities. After entering dormancy, the bulbs are dug up the following year, and the large bulbs bloom in winter.

When narcissus flowers, it can be placed in a well-ventilated environment, away from high-temperature radiators, and avoid direct sunlight. During the bud growth period, narcissus has a high demand for nutrients, and it can be fertilized with some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once a week, which can extend the flowering period by a week.

When 1 or 2 narcissus flowers open, remove the bulb and put it in the refrigerator. After a few days, take it out and put it back in the pot, which effectively extends the flowering period. Additionally, you can sprinkle salt in the flower pot, but be careful not to sprinkle salt when the flower buds have not opened.
