Potted narcissus cultivation method
The daffodils blooming during the New Year are known as the "Lingbo Fairy", and their slender figure and elegant fragrance are deeply loved by people. As a traditional New Year flower in China, potted daffodils can be cultured in both soil and water, but most flower lovers prefer a clean and convenient hydroponics method. This article will systematically analyze the key points of indoor maintenance of daffodils, so that you can easily master the secret of cultivating this winter fragrance. Light control strategies for the four core elements of hydroponic cultivation of narcissus. A typical short-day plant requires 6 hours of scattered light every day. It is recommended to place the hydroponic container on the southeastern window sill and regularly rotate the pot 180-degree to avoid the plant growing off the crown. When the leaves are found to show signs of excessive length, the light intensity can be appropriately increased to 8000- 10,000 Lux. At the beginning of hydroponics, the dried tap water needs to be replaced every day, and adjusted to 2-3 days after the root systems are fully developed. When changing water, the mucus on the root surface should be gently washed to maintain the water temperature between 12-15℃. After the bud is formed, water can be replenished every week, and the water level line is controlled at 1/3 of the bulb height. The temperature is accurately controlled to maintain a cold environment of 10-15℃ during the bulb germination period, and increase the temperature to 16-18℃ during the flower stem extraction stage. Natural cooling can be achieved by opening windows at night for ventilation. When the room temperature exceeds 25℃, sunshade measures need to be taken. It is recommended to use a humidifier to maintain 40%-60% air humidity during winter heating. Nutrient solution ratio plan On the fifth day of hydroponics, special hydroponics nutrient solution with N-P-K=7-9-5 was used, adding 2ml of concentrated solution to every liter of water. During the budding period, potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (concentration 0.2%) was used for foliar spraying, once a week until flowering. Take care to avoid fertilizer coming into contact with bulb cuts and causing rot. Safety Guidelines for Indoor Maintenance of Narcissus Narcissus bulbs contain alkaloids such as lycorine. Eating by mistake may cause nausea and vomiting. It is recommended to place the hydroponic container out of reach of children and wash hands promptly after touching the plants. Keep the bedroom ventilated for 4 hours a day during flowering. People with pollen allergies are advised to place it in the living room.
Through scientific management, daffodils can last for 20-30 days indoors. After the flowers wither, cut off the remaining flowers and retain the leaves. After naturally wilting, the bulbs will be taken out and stored in the sand. The flowers can still be restored after low-temperature vernalization treatment in the coming year. By mastering these maintenance skills, you can also enjoy the elegant and refined daffodils in the twelfth lunar month of the cold winter.
