How to Cultivate Narcissus
This introduces the methods of cultivating narcissus and the key points of maintaining this green plant, with the following details:
Narcissus is a plant commonly seen in our lives. It prefers warm, humid conditions with good drainage, plenty of sunlight, and has a strong vitality. Next, we will specifically introduce it from two aspects: planting methods and precautions.
1. Hydroponic Cultivation
If you want to cultivate narcissus hydroponically, you should choose healthy narcissus with intact skin. Clean it thoroughly, peel off the outer skin to expose the tender buds, make a vertical cut on both sides of the top of the bulb without cutting the small bulbs, to a depth of one-third of the bulb, making sure to only cut the scales and not hurt the tender leaf buds. Then soak it for about two days. On the third day, you can place it in a disinfected container, adding water to cover one-third of the narcissus bulb. Also, the roots need to be cleaned, cutting off the old roots at the bottom of the narcissus.
2. Soil Cultivation
Soil cultivation of narcissus is generally carried out in October to November. Use a clay pot, then fill it with fertile and loose soil. Peel off the withered scales of the narcissus bulb, remove some old and weak roots, and plant it in the soil, with a depth of 1-2 centimeters. Finally, place it in a cool and well-ventilated area to wait for it to root.
3. Precautions
The newly planted narcissus needs to change the water once a day. When the narcissus bud forms, it is necessary to change the water once a week, and you can also add some nutrient solution to supplement the nutrients for the narcissus. Change the water promptly when it becomes turbid. During the day, the narcissus should be placed in a sunny area, and at night, it should be moved indoors with the water in the pot poured out to prevent the leaves from growing too long. Add clean water the next day.
Cultivating narcissus does not require fertilizer; tap water can meet the plant's daily growth needs. The temperature for growing narcissus should not be too high or too low, generally maintaining between 10℃-20℃ in the early stage, and later it is suitable to grow in a place with a temperature of 20℃-25℃. Narcissus prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight, and insufficient light may affect its growth.
The above methods and key points for cultivating narcissus and maintaining the plant are for reference and suggestion.
