How to raise daffodils in soil
As a traditional New Year flower in China, local cultivation can extend its life cycle and improve the quality of flowering. This article will systematically analyze the key points of the entire process of Narcissus soil cultivation from bulb treatment to daily maintenance. Core steps of soil cultivation of daffodils. Pretreatment techniques of corm When peeling off the brown skin of the outer layer, a disinfectant blade is needed to retain the complete root disc structure. The treated bulbs need to be soaked in carbendazim solution for 20 minutes to prevent soil-borne disease infection. The substrate preparation plan adopts the ratio of peat soil: perlite: coarse sand =4:3:3 to ensure that the substrate is loose and breathable. 2 cm of ceramite can be laid on the bottom layer to enhance drainage, and the planting depth is appropriate to expose the top buds of the corm. Key points for soil culture and maintenance of narcissus. Light control strategies require scattered light to be maintained during the budding period, and increase it to 6 hours of direct light per day after budding. Use a sunshade net to adjust the strong light period to avoid burning leaves caused by noon exposure. The water management cycle follows the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet". Dip the basin every 3 days in spring and autumn to replenish water, and spray it in the morning and evening to increase humidity in summer. Maintain the humidity of the substrate at 60%-70% during flower bud differentiation. Advanced maintenance techniques Apply phosphorus and potassium liquid fertilizer (diluted 1000 times) every half month during the growth period to cut off residual flowers and retain leaves in time after flowering. During the summer dormant period, water and fertilizer were stopped to keep the substrate in a slightly dry state.
Through scientific soil culture management, daffodils can be restored for many years. The key is to grasp the water permeability of the substrate, control the light cycle and precise water and fertilizer management, and coordinate with regular pot changes to update the cultivation substrate, so that the narcissus can continue to bloom elegant flowers.
