What are the knowledge about narcissus
Today's editor will introduce the knowledge about narcissus and the small experience of green plant maintenance on how to cultivate narcissus, and then let's get to know it together.
Detailed explanation of the top ten famous flowers - narcissus
Alias Chinese narcissus, elegant garlic, celestial onion
Type Perennial herbaceous
Family and Genus Amaryllidaceae narcissus
Place of Origin China
Flowering Period January to March
Fruiting Period Does not bear fruit
Temperature and Light
Preferred warm and abundant sunlight, also tolerant to semi-shade. Not cold-resistant, indoor temperature should not be lower than 5°C. At -2°C, the plant will freeze to death. The optimal growth temperature is 10 - 15°C, after about 40 days of hydroponics, it can bloom, and the flowering period can last for 20 days. The length of the flowering period is related to the temperature; the higher the temperature, the faster it wilts. After the roots and leaves have grown, more sunlight should be provided as much as possible, otherwise the leaves will become thin and tall, and the leaf color will be light.
Water
Narcissus has high requirements for water quality, attention should be paid to changing water to prevent the roots from discoloring and rotting. Well water, purified water, mineral water are all suitable. If it is tap water, it is best to let it sit in the sun. Narcissus likes humidity, and water should be sprayed on the leaves in rooms with heating.
Soil
Suitable for loose and fertile sandy soil.
Fertilizer
The narcissus bulbs sold in the flower market have already grown in the soil for a long time and have absorbed a lot of nutrients, generally no additional fertilization is needed.
Pruning
Pruning can be done. When the leaves turn yellow, cut them from the bottom; if the leaves are too long, they can be trimmed appropriately. It is best to disinfect the tools.
Propagation
Households usually buy bulbs directly.
Diseases and Pests
Few diseases and pests.
Purchase
When buying bulbs, "look twice and pinch once", mainly "looking". Look at the size of the bulb, the larger the better, the circumference should be at least 24 centimeters. Look at the shape, preferably flat and round, rather than round, because flatter bulbs have more flower buds, 2-3 bulbs are better, pay attention to any diseases, rot, etc. Pinch with your fingers, hard and slightly elastic is good, do not choose soft and sunken ones.
Transplanting or Repotting
When planting, first remove the outer layer of brown old skin and protective root soil from the bulb, then wash with water to avoid affecting the water quality. Then soak in clear water for one day, and then plant in a shallow water pot. If there is mucilage, it should be cleaned. After cleaning, be sure to wash your hands clean. If the bulb has already rooted, be careful not to break it.
There will be several small bulbs next to the bulb, which can be retained in the pot as decoration, or buried in the soil to try to propagate. Most of these small bulbs only grow leaves and do not bloom, if they affect the placement of the main bulb in the container, they should be separated. The water level in the container should be one-third of the bulb.
When the narcissus flowering period is over, it is recommended to buy new bulbs to plant. If the original bulb is buried in the soil and managed properly, new bulbs will grow, but it will take 2-3 years to bloom.
What to do if the plant is too tall?
Should enhance sunlight and reduce environmental temperature. The hydroponic time should not be too early, plants planted after December are shorter than those planted in November. Dwarfing agents and other plant growth regulators can be used to control height, and the concentration and immersion time must be followed according to the instructions. To control the excessive growth of leaves, in the early growth stage, the pot should be placed in a sunny place during the day and moved to a well-lit indoor area at night with the water drained, and then add fresh water the next day.
The above is the full content of the knowledge about narcissus and its cultivation methods, hoping to be helpful to green plant enthusiasts!
