What to Do When Narcissus Bud Wilts
The phenomenon of narcissus buds becoming wilted is a common issue in the maintenance process, especially during the flowering stage which is more sensitive. This article will systematically analyze the emergency techniques for narcissus bud revival and daily maintenance points from four dimensions: light control, temperature management, water quality optimization, and cultivation transition.
Causes of Narcissus Bud Wilting
Mechanism of Sunburn Injury
Narcissus is a short-day plant, and it only needs 4-6 hours of scattered light during the bud development period each day. Continuous strong light exposure accelerates the decomposition of anthocyanins, leading to dehydration and wilting of the buds. It is recommended to use double-layer shading nets to filter 40% of the light, or move it to an east-facing windowsill for maintenance.
Environmental Regulation Strategies
Temperature and Humidity Management
The recommended maintenance temperature is between 12-18°C, with a day-night temperature difference not exceeding 5°C. Smart temperature control devices can be used to maintain a stable environment, combined with a tray watering method to increase humidity, maintaining 60%-70% air humidity. Special reminder: when maintaining in a room with heating, it is necessary to keep the plant more than 1.5 meters away from the heat source.
Cultivation System Optimization
Water Quality Circulation Scheme
In hydroponics, it is necessary to replace the tap water every 72 hours with water that has been aired for 24 hours, combined with 0.1% activated carbon granules to purify the water quality. It is recommended to use the siphon water replacement method, retaining 1/3 of the original water to maintain microbial balance. Observe the root condition, and if browning occurs, immediate disinfection treatment is required.
Soil Cultivation Transition Techniques
When transitioning to soil cultivation, a mixture of珍珠岩:rotten leaf soil=1:3 should be chosen. During the operation, retain 1/3 of the original bulb for disinfection and drying of the roots, and use the moist soil potting method. Keep the plant in a shaded and well-ventilated area for the first 3 days. No fertilization is allowed within 20 days after soil cultivation, and after the new leaves unfold, switch to regular maintenance.
Through systematic environmental regulation and scientific maintenance, more than 85% of wilted buds can recover. It is recommended to check the bud condition weekly and establish a maintenance log to record temperature and humidity data. For severely wilted plants, you can try the low-temperature dormancy method to preserve the bulbs for rearing the following year.
