How to hydroponically cultivate narcissus
You may not be familiar with the introduction of hydroponic cultivation of narcissus and the tips for growing green plants and flowers. Let's learn about it together.
Narcissus is a plant that flower enthusiasts must cultivate every winter because it blooms beautifully, whether hydroponically or in soil, and has a faint fragrance that is very pleasant. So, how should narcissus be hydroponically cultivated?
First, we need to purchase bulbs, which will come with many small side buds. Do not remove these side buds because they are connected to the thick bulb and have already differentiated into flower buds. We only need to cultivate them together to make them bloom. For the bulbs we just received, we need to process them by peeling off the outer dry skin and checking for mold spots. Remove all the dry roots, including the dry parts of the root plate. After that, mix some water with carbendazim at a concentration of 1:800 and soak the bulbs in the water for half an hour to an hour to disinfect.
After soaking, rinse the bulb surface with clean water, then find a hydroponic pot, add water to it, and make sure the water level is about 1 cm above the bulb. Place the bulb in the pot and put it in a place with ample light. Add a little rooting hormone to the water to promote rapid root growth. Generally, after this cultivation method, the roots will gradually grow out within one or two days. As the roots grow longer and more numerous, the new buds will start to grow, and flower buds will gradually appear and bloom.
Hydroponic narcissus is prone to excessive growth. We can add a few drops of a dwarfing agent to the water to prevent excessive growth. During maintenance, make sure to place it in the sunniest area because lack of light can cause leaf and stem elongation, making the whole plant look unattractive. When the leaves are lush, if we want the flowers to bloom beautifully and last longer, we can add a little nutrient solution to the water, using a hydroponic nutrient solution.
If the temperature in your room is high and you are worried about the plant growing too fast, especially when it does not receive light at night, you can pour out the water in the evening and keep an empty pot with the roots inside. In the morning, add water to slightly control the growth. This method can slow down the growth at night and prevent excessive growth, but it can be a bit troublesome. However, if you want perfect results, this method can be implemented. This is how to cultivate narcissus hydroponically and some things to note.
