Suitable breeding environment

Narcissus thrives in warm, humid, and sunny environments. During breeding, maintain indoor temperatures between 15-25°C, avoid direct sunlight, and ensure good indoor ventilation to prevent leaf yellowing and withering.

Proper watering and fertilizing

Narcissus requires a higher demand for water. Keep the soil moist and avoid waterlogging when watering to prevent root rot. During the growing period, fertilize with a thin liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so to promote the growth of narcissus.

Timely pruning and propagation

In the breeding process, prune the withered leaves and weak branches in time to keep the plant ventilated and well-lit. After the narcissus flowering period, you can propagate by taking out the bulbs, drying the wounds, and then dividing the bulbs for propagation.
