The method of hydroponic cultivation of narcissus
Today, I will explain in detail the hydroponic cultivation method of narcissus and the steps of saving bulbs after the narcissus flowers have bloomed for netizens. The knowledge about flowers is as follows:
Hello, everyone, welcome to this episode. Friends who love narcissus, please support the small flowers. Today, let's explore its hydroponic path and take a look at the different narcissus!
Firstly, the hydroponic process.
I. Selecting bulbs.
Refer to soil cultivation; when hydroponically cultivating this plant, it is also necessary to choose healthy and plump, larger bulbs. Then, carefully peel off the dry skin on the outermost layer and remove all the so-called old, weak, and withered roots completely, cutting them all clean. During this process, protection should be taken to avoid damaging the root plate, as it is likely to affect the subsequent growth and development of the new plant.
II. Choosing a pot.
Usually, there are special pots for narcissus cultivation available on the market. Whether for soil or hydroponic cultivation, as long as you put in effort, people can find a pot that meets the requirements. For hydroponics, it is advisable to use a "root control" type pot. If they also have good light transmission and water retention, then the plant can certainly grow lush and vigorous as expected. If you don't believe it, try it for yourself.
III. Light.
Although people always say that narcissus is shade-tolerant and afraid of direct strong sunlight, excessive lack of light is also not advisable, as it will seriously affect the growth of the plant, causing it to have poor growth, poor development, or even withered branches and yellow leaves. Therefore, even in the hot summer, everyone needs to move the potted plants to a cool and ventilated place indoors that is not short of scattered light.

IV. Temperature.
Basically, narcissus prefers a temperature of around 15~25°C, not too high or too low. Keep in mind that if the weather is too hot, the plant will inevitably enter a dormant state, and there is no definitive answer as to when it will wake up. Conversely, if the temperature is too low, the not-so-robust plant will easily suffer from frostbite. So when keeping narcissus at home, shade when necessary and keep warm when necessary. People must take good care to control the temperature!
V. Water changing.
For narcissus, clean and clear water is extremely important. Only by persistently changing the water regularly and occasionally adding a little nutrient solution to the container can promote the growth of the plant. However, once you find that they have successfully sprouted new roots, you should quickly change strategies and water less.
Secondly, precautions.
1. Light should be moderate; too strong or too weak is not what the plant desires.
2. Water changing must be diligent. It is best to change the water every 3 to 5 days, and the specific frequency of water changing mainly depends on the cleanliness of the current water quality. That is, if the water in the pot is relatively clean, you can delay changing the water.
Finally, regarding the question of "whether the plant is more suitable for soil or hydroponic cultivation," the small flower believes that it depends on one's perspective. After all, narcissus is different from other plants; it is naturally amphibious and can be cultivated in both water and soil. If we really compare the two methods, each has its advantages. Hydroponics, the former, has a high ornamental value and comes with a "beauty" BUFF. It is also relatively clean and does not easily dirt the indoor environment. Conversely, the soil in the pot contains more nutrients and is more conducive to the robust growth of the plant.
This episode ends here. In summary, the hydroponic cultivation of narcissus is simple if you say it is, and difficult if you say it is. The key is whether everyone can master the essentials. For example, when selecting bulbs, those that are well-shaped, round, plump, and free from diseases should be prioritized. Moreover, to ensure that the plant can root and sprout quickly, it is advisable to trim moderately before officially potting the narcissus. As for the container, it is also recommended that people buy a specialized one, which is both convenient and easy to use.
The above sharing of the hydroponic cultivation method of narcissus and the steps of saving bulbs after the narcissus flowers have bloomed hope to be helpful to you!
