Should narcissus flowers be discarded after blooming in hydroponics? Try a "new method," and they will bloom again next year.
When the New Year approaches, many flower enthusiasts like to buy several bulbs to plant them and let them grow leaves and bloom directly, as they have a strong fragrance and a long blooming period. There are many people who enjoy growing them. So, how should we cultivate narcissus to make it root and bloom quickly?
Narcissus can be grown in water or soil, and either method is fine. Today, let's talk about soil culture, as it is much better than hydroponics. After blooming in hydroponics, most of the plants are simply discarded, while in soil culture, we can continue to grow them for a while. By the second year, if the bulb is large enough, it can still bloom.
Soil culture of narcissus is very simple. First, we need to remove all the dry outer skin, check for rot on the surface, clean the dry roots, and then dilute some carbendazim in water to a concentration of about 1:800, and soak the bulbs in it to perform fungicidal treatment. Generally, soaking for half an hour is enough. After soaking, take them out and dry the moisture on the surface. Then, prepare the soil for planting, making it as breathable and water-permeable as possible. Generally, mixing nutrient-rich soil with river sand works very well. Choose a smaller and shallower pot and plant it, making sure not to completely bury the bulb, but leave the top exposed to encourage faster sprouting.
After planting, water it directly, adding some fungicide and rooting hormone to the water, which can help it grow roots quickly without rotting. Once planted, put it in a well-ventilated area with plenty of sunlight, and it will slowly grow roots. As the roots grow longer, new sprouts will continuously emerge. When the new sprouts start growing, we can add some fertilizer, preferably one high in phosphorus and potassium content, without lacking other elements, such as "Flower More 2," applying it 2-3 times a month.
With sufficient sunlight and nutrients, when the potting soil is dry to a depth of two to three centimeters, water it thoroughly to ensure the narcissus does not lack nutrients, allowing it to grow leaves quickly and form flower buds to bloom. The flowers will also have a strong fragrance. After blooming, promptly剪除 the faded flowers and provide ample fertilizer again, which will allow it to last until summer. The bulbs will not become weak but grow larger, and by the second year, they might even bloom again.
