Narcissus is one of China's top ten famous flowers. Its growth characteristics are to grow in autumn, bloom in winter, and dormant in summer.

Single-petal narcissus blooms at the end of December, with white corolla, yellow calyx, six petals, a golden crown in the middle, shaped like a lamp, and the flowers have a fragrant scent, hence the name "golden lamp and jade platform," with a flowering period of about half a month. If the crown is white, the flowers are numerous, and the leaves are slightly thin, it is called "silver lamp and jade platform."

Double-petal narcissus blooms at the beginning of January, with white flowers, 12 petals, rolled into a cluster, light yellow at the bottom of the corolla and pale white at the top, without an obvious crown, named "centifolia narcissus" or "jade delicacy," with a flowering period of about twenty days. The flower shape is not as beautiful as the single-petal variety, and the fragrance is also poorer, which is a variant of narcissus.

Chinese narcissus can bloom after being cultivated for 2-3 years. In autumn, it is cultivated in September and October. The next year, the leaves wither in May, and in June, the bulb enters hibernation. During the dormant period, the bulb carries out physiological and biochemical activities. After the second year of dormancy, the bulbs are dug, and the large bulbs bloom in winter.
【Two, methods to extend the flowering period of narcissus】
When do narcissus flowers bloom?
<1>
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 stage, narcissus requires a lot of nutrients, and it can be appropriately fertilized with 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, place it in the refrigerator for a few days, and then take it out and put it back in the pot. This 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.
【Three, reasons why narcissus does not bloom】
<1>
If you purchase poor-quality bulbs, they will need to be cultivated for several years before they can bloom. Also, if the indoor temperature is too high, there is insufficient sunlight, the environment is dry, the water is not changed frequently, or the bulb is damaged during water change, it will affect blooming.

Improper hydroponics. Narcissus usually starts growing after the frost, and it is in a dormant state throughout the summer before the frost. If the bulbs are hydroponically cultivated before the frost or after Qingming, the bulbs cannot grow normally, which can lead to flower failure.
<Conclusion>
Narcissus flowers bloom in winter. To make narcissus bloom well, it is necessary to choose high-quality bulbs that are over three years old. It is best to water with rainwater and pond water, and if using tap water, let it sit for a few days before watering. Maintain sufficient sunlight and appropriate temperature, and keep it in a well-ventilated environment.
