Flowering time of daffodils
Daffodils are known as the "Lingbo Fairy" for their elegant and refined temperament. Mastering its flowering rules and maintenance skills can make this beauty bloom more lasting. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the growth cycle characteristics of narcissus and share effective flowering extension plans verified by professional gardeners. 1. Core maintenance points for the flowering period of daffodils 1.1 Analysis of the growth cycle of daffodils. Daffodils belong to the bulbous flower planted in autumn. It takes about 40-60 days from bulb cultivation to flowering. Under natural conditions, the flowering period is concentrated between January and March, and the specific time is influenced by the quality of the ball, cultivation time and regional climate: high-quality ball cultivated in October can flower in advance to December; late planting or poor quality ball may be delayed until March. 1.2 Experimental data from the precise temperature control plan show that when the ambient temperature is maintained at 5-10℃, daffodils can remain in optimal viewing condition for up to 30 days. A three-stage temperature control method is recommended: 1. Germination period: 12-15℃ promotes root growth 2. Scapes stage: stable growth at 10-12℃ 3. Full flowering period: Extended opening at 5-8℃ 2. Advanced skills for extending flowering period of daffodils 2.1 Scientific water management method adopts the water supply strategy of "filling the night sky during the day": inject clear water into 1/3 of the bulb in the morning every day, and completely empty the water in the evening. Combined with the addition of nutrient solution (diluting phosphorus and potassium fertilizers at a ratio of 1:500), the flowering period can be extended by 5-7 days, and attention should be paid to avoid leaves getting wet and causing rot. 2.2 Intelligent lighting adjustment plan realizes flowering period regulation through light intensity control: ·Light blocking period (10:00-15:00) 50%·Maintain full sunshine during low light period (16:00-8:00)·Use LED fill light to maintain 6 hours of light per day. 3. Handling abnormal situations of daffodils When problems such as bud elimination and arrow pinching occur, immediately implement emergency treatment: 1. Increase the environmental humidity to more than 70%. Apply 0.1% gibberellin solution 3. Maintaining the temperature difference between day and night at around 8℃ has been measured and this plan can save more than 90% of abnormal plants.
Mastering these scientific maintenance methods will not only extend the flowering period of your daffodils by 50%, but also increase the flower diameter by 20%. It is recommended to cooperate with the flowering period recording APP and establish a dedicated maintenance log to make the flowers bloom better every year.
