Narcissus is a plant commonly seen in our lives. It prefers warm, humid, well-drained conditions, plenty of sunlight, and has a strong vitality. Next, we will specifically introduce from two aspects: planting methods and precautions.
1. Hydroponic Planting
If you want to grow narcissus hydroponically, you should choose healthy narcissus with intact skin, clean it, peel off the outer skin of the narcissus to expose its tender buds, make vertical cuts on the sides of the top of the narcissus bulb that does not have small bulbs, to a depth of one-third of the bulb, only cutting the鳞茎 (bulb scales), be sure not to hurt the young leaf buds. Then soak it for about two days. On the third day, you can place it in a disinfected container, adding water to cover one-third of the narcissus bulb. Also, the roots need to be cleaned, cutting off the old roots at the bottom of the narcissus.
2. Soil Planting
Soil planting of narcissus is generally carried out in October to November. Use a ceramic pot, then fill it with fertile and loose soil, peel off the dry bulb scales of the narcissus head, remove some old and weak roots, and then plant it in the soil, with a depth of 1-2 centimeters, and finally place it in a cool and well-ventilated place to wait for it to root.
3. Precautions
The newly planted narcissus needs to change the water once a day. When the narcissus bud forms, it is necessary to change the water once a week, and a little nutrient solution can also be added to supplement the nutrients for the narcissus. Change the water promptly when the water becomes turbid. During the day, the narcissus should be placed in a place with plenty of sunlight, and at night, pour out the water from the pot and place it indoors to prevent the leaves from growing too long. Add clean water the next day.
There is no need for fertilizer to raise narcissus, as clean water can meet the daily growth needs of the plant. The temperature for planting narcissus should not be too high or too low, generally maintaining 10℃-20℃ in the early stage, and suitable growth can be achieved at 20℃-25℃ later. Narcissus prefers a sunny environment, and insufficient sunlight may affect the growth of the plant.
The above introduction on how to plant and bloom narcissus and the specific steps of planting narcissus is hoped to bring some knowledge of flowers to green plant enthusiasts.
