Narcissus is one of the top ten traditional famous flowers in China and is internationally recognized as a valuable flower, distributed in China, Japan, and Korea. There is also wild narcissus in Zhejiang, Fujian, (T-W) and other places in China. It grows in coastal hills and alluvial plain areas, preferring warm, humid conditions with good drainage. Loose, fertile soil with a deep layer of alluvial sandy loam is the most suitable, with a pH of 5 to 7.5 suitable for growth. It enjoys abundant sunlight, and when planted in shaded places, it often has lush leaves but does not bloom.
It has the habit of summer dormancy, with the aerial parts withering and entering the dormant period in mid-to-late June, beginning to sprout and grow in November, and blooming in the following March.
It does not require soil, only a few stones in a pot and some water are needed to produce beautiful flowers. Zhangzhou narcissus is famous for its large bulbs, many flower branches, long blooming period, and fragrant flowers, especially during the Spring Festival when having a pot of narcissus at home can bring vitality to the cold winter. Narcissus can also be used as a gift for friends and family.

To make narcissus bloom during the Spring Festival, it is important to master the soaking time. Narcissus generally blooms after about 45 days of soaking. The Spring Festival next year is on February 12, so you can soak the narcissus bulbs by the end of December. The water only needs to reach the lower part of the bulb. If the roots are not in contact with water, you can use some cotton to cover the roots to facilitate water absorption, changing the water once a day.
