Narcissus is a plant commonly seen in our lives. It prefers warm, humid, and well-drained conditions, plenty of sunlight, and has a strong vitality. Next, we will introduce it in detail from two aspects: planting methods and precautions.
1. Hydroponic Cultivation
If you want to cultivate narcissus hydroponically, you should select healthy narcissus with intact skin, clean it thoroughly, peel off the outer skin, expose its buds, and make vertical cuts on the sides of the top of the narcissus bulb without cutting the small bulbs, to a depth of one-third of the bulb's body. Only cut the bulb scales, and be careful not to hurt the tender leaf buds. Then, soak it for about two days. On the third day, you can place it in a sterilized container, adding water to cover one-third of the narcissus bulb. Also, the roots need to be cleaned, cutting off the old roots at the bottom of the narcissus.
2. Soil Cultivation
Soil cultivation of narcissus is usually carried out in October to November. Use a clay pot, then fill it with fertile and loose soil, peel off the dried scales of the narcissus bulb, remove some old and weak roots, and 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 take root.
3. Precautions
Water newly planted narcissus once a day. When the narcissus flower buds form, change the water once a week, and you can also add some nutrient solution to supplement nutrients for the narcissus. Change the water promptly when it becomes cloudy. During the day, place the narcissus in a place with plenty of sunlight, and at night, put it indoors and pour out 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; clean water can meet its daily growth needs. The temperature for growing narcissus should not be too high or too low, generally maintaining 10°C-20°C in the early stage and 20°C-25°C in a suitable later stage. Narcissus prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight, and insufficient light may affect its growth.
The above are some small experiences and knowledge about the narcissus planting method and precautions for maintaining narcissus. I hope this article can be of some help to you!
