Temperature Regulation Method to Extend Blooming Period
Narcissus belongs to the cold-cool type of plants, with an ideal growth temperature of 10-15°C. The following methods can be used to create a suitable environment: 1. Keep it more than 2 meters away from radiators to avoid heat radiation 2. Move it to an 8°C environment at night can delay metabolism 3. Use smart temperature control flower stands to maintain constant temperature
Nutrient Supplementation Plan
The nutrient requirement during the blooming period increases by 50% compared to usual: • Supplement potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (diluted 1000 times) every week • Add hydroponic special nutrient solution when hydroponically cultivating • It is recommended to apply bone meal + decomposed cake fertilizer when soil cultivating

Blooming time table of major producing areas in China: | Region | Outdoor Cultivation | Indoor Hydroponics | |--------|-------------------|-------------------| | Fujian | Early January | Late December | | Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai | Mid-February | End of January | | Northern Regions | Early March | Mid-February |
Blooming Period Regulation Techniques
The blooming period can be adjusted by ±15 days through temperature control: • Early blooming: Maintain 18°C constant temperature + supplemental lighting • Delayed blooming: Store bulbs at 5°C low temperature • Second blooming: Cut off the withered flowers and retain the leaves after blooming
