Narcissus is a plant commonly seen in our lives. It thrives in warm, humid, well-drained conditions with plenty of sunlight and has a strong vitality. We will introduce in detail from two aspects: planting methods and precautions.
1. Hydroponic Cultivation
If you want to cultivate narcissus hydroponically, select healthy narcissus with intact skin, clean them thoroughly, peel off the outer skin to reveal the sprouts, make vertical cuts on both sides of the top of the bulb without cutting the small bulbs, to a depth of one-third of the bulb, only cutting the scales and making sure not to damage the tender leaf buds. Then soak them for about two days. On the third day, place them in a sterilized container, adding water to cover one-third of the narcissus bulb. Also, clean the roots by trimming off the old roots at the bottom of the narcissus.
2. Soil Cultivation
Soil cultivation of narcissus is generally carried out in October to November. Use a clay pot and fill it with fertile and loose soil, peel off the dried scales of the narcissus bulb, remove some old and weak roots, and then plant it in the soil, with a depth of 1-2 centimeters. Finally, place it in a cool and well-ventilated area to wait for it to root.
3. Precautions
Water the newly planted narcissus once a day. When the flower buds form, change the water once a week and you can also add some nutrient solution to supplement the nutrients. Change the water promptly when it becomes cloudy. During the day, place the narcissus in a sunny area and at night, put it indoors and empty the water from the pot to prevent the leaves from growing too long. Add clean water the next day.
Cultivating narcissus does not require fertilizer; tap water can meet the plant's daily growth needs. The temperature for growing narcissus should not be too high or too low, generally maintaining 10℃-20℃ in the early stages, and later suitable for growth in a temperature range of 20℃-25℃. Narcissus enjoys a sunny environment, and insufficient light may affect its growth.
