How to Care for Narcissus
This article provides an in-depth explanation of how to care for narcissus and the methods and techniques for cultivating this green plant. Details are as follows:
Narcissus is a plant commonly seen in our lives. It thrives in warm, humid, well-drained conditions with plenty of sunlight and has a strong vitality. 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, expose its sprouts, and make a vertical cut on both sides of the top of the narcissus bulb without cutting the small bulbs, to a depth of one-third of the bulb. Only cut the bulb scales, making sure not to hurt the tender leaf buds. Then soak it for about two days. On the third day, place it in a disinfected container, adding water to cover one-third of the narcissus bulb. Also, clean the roots by trimming 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 and fill it with fertile and loose soil. Peel off the dry scales of the narcissus head, remove some old and weak roots, and then 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
Newly planted narcissus needs to be changed water once a day. When the narcissus bud forms, 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, place the narcissus in a sunny area, and at night, pour out the water from the pot and place it indoors to prevent the leaves from growing excessively. 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 10℃-20℃ in the early stage, and suitable growth can be achieved at 20℃-25℃ later. Narcissus enjoys a sunny environment, and insufficient sunlight may affect its growth.
