When does the narcissus bloom?
Here is an introduction to when the narcissus blooms and related knowledge about the flowering period of narcissus for netizens, followed by a detailed explanation.
In the cold winter without heating, if you want to keep flowers at home, narcissus is the most common, because it is the most frost-resistant and usually blooms during the New Year. The flowers have a fragrant aroma and are very beautiful.
When we watch the Spring Festival Gala, most of the beautiful flowers in the audience are narcissus. So, if we want our narcissus to bloom during the Spring Festival, when is it better to plant them?
Actually, if the temperature is suitable, narcissus grows relatively fast. It can bloom in about a month and a half. Therefore, if you want narcissus to bloom during the Spring Festival, you can plant it a month before the festival. It can be hydroponically or soil-cultivated. If the temperature at home is relatively low, about 10 degrees, you need to plant it a month earlier, so planting now is fine.
To make narcissus bloom more, whether hydroponically or soil-cultivated, you need to follow the habits of narcissus to achieve bright and fragrant flowers. Improper maintenance can easily lead to leggy growth without blooming or smaller flowers.
When does the narcissus bloom?
First, adequate sunlight
If you want the narcissus to bloom more, you must give it plenty of sunlight, placing it in the best lit area on the balcony. This will allow it to produce more flower buds and open them smoothly, preventing leggy growth and making the plants short and thick.
Second, a large temperature difference
If you want the narcissus to grow shorter and stockier with more flower buds, it is best to place it in an area with a large temperature difference, getting plenty of sunlight during the day for photosynthesis and accumulating nutrients at a lower temperature at night. This makes the plants thicker and the flower buds more differentiated. If the indoor temperature is relatively high and the narcissus grows quickly, you can pour out the water at night and add it again the next day to control its growth height and prevent leggy growth.
Third, spray a dwarfing agent
Narcissus is particularly prone to leggy growth. If the sunlight is slightly insufficient, the leaves grow very long and look unsightly. Therefore, if you have a dwarfing agent, you can spray it once every 7 days. When the seedlings are about 10 centimeters tall, applying it 3 times can suppress leggy growth.
