Narcissus Planting Guide
Today's experience sharing: how to plant narcissus and the related knowledge about the green plant aspect of narcissus planting methods and precautions, please see the detailed introduction below.
Soil: Use sandy soil with good water retention to grow narcissus. Water: Water daily at the beginning, and water every 2-3 days before flowering. Light: Place the freshly planted narcissus in a shaded area, and move it to a sunny place after 5 days. Temperature: 12-20℃ is suitable.
I. Soil
Sandy cultivation method: As narcissus prefers a warm and humid environment, the generally selected soil for cultivation is loose, fertile sandy soil with good water retention. Fill the pot with clean fine sand to 3cm from the rim, peel the outer skin of the bulb and bury it about 1cm deep in the sand, then cover the top of the fine sand with a few small stones.
Water culture method: Pour water that has been set aside for a few days into a shallow pot, ensuring it covers the clean bulb about 1cm, then place it in a shaded area.
II. Watering
Sandy cultivation method: When planting with sand and stones, water thoroughly the first time, and water daily. If watering is not timely, it can easily cause water shortage and lead to slow growth of the flower roots.
Water culture method: When growing narcissus in water, change the water once a day, otherwise it will cause the plant to rot the stem. Daily water changing can make the regrown roots clean and white. When changing the water, you can set aside the tap water for 2-3 days in advance, which can remove the residual chlorine and other impurities. Before flowering, you can change the water every 2-3 days.
How to plant narcissus
III. Lighting
For freshly planted narcissus, you can first move it to a shaded area, and then move it to a sunny place after 5 days. It is a sun-loving plant, and it is sufficient to have 6-7 hours of sunlight per day; if there is not enough sunlight, it may result in fewer flowers.
IV. Temperature
The temperature for growing narcissus should not be too high or too low, generally around 12-20℃ is suitable. High temperatures can cause the leaves to grow excessively and the flower color to become dull.
V. Precautions
1. Fertilization: Fertilize 5-7 days after planting, because at this time the rootstock has just matured, and fertilizing will not hurt the roots. Do not change the water for 5-7 days after fertilizing, otherwise the fertility of the soil will be lost.
2. Flowering period: Narcissus can be planted from autumn and winter, and it will bloom in early spring. Generally, the narcissus bulb can bloom as expected after about 40 days of planting, and the flowering period can almost last a whole month.
