How to cultivate narcissus bulbs
This article provides a detailed introduction on how to grow narcissus bulbs and an explanation of narcissus cultivation techniques in the field of green plants and flowers. Please refer to the following detailed introduction.
Narcissus is a very good spring festival flower. As winter begins, many businesses sell a large number of narcissus bulbs. Once we get the bulbs and plant them, they will grow leaves and bloom, producing very beautiful flowers. How should we care for narcissus bulbs? There are two situations: hydroponics and soil cultivation.
First, let's talk about hydroponics. Hydroponic narcissus cultivation is very simple. We just need to remove the dry outer skin and scrape off any moldy spots. Clean the dry and rotting roots at the bottom of the bulb thoroughly, then find a container and add some carbendazim, submerge the narcissus bulb completely in water, and soak it for 1 to 2 hours. After that, we can take it out and put it in a hydroponic pot to let it grow roots. Once placed in the hydroponic pot, add a few drops of root growth liquid to the water, then place it in a well-lit area. It's best to pour out the water at night and add fresh water the next day. This way, our hydroponic narcissus will grow evenly, directly producing flower spikes and blooming. During hydroponics, if the leaves grow very tall, it's best to start using a dwarfing agent as soon as the sprouts appear, diluting it in the water, which can effectively prevent it from becoming leggy.
The method of soil cultivation is also very simple. After preparing the bulbs, the process is the same. Take the bulbs out of the carbendazim solution, let the outer skin dry slightly, then plant them in the soil. Make sure the soil does not cover the sprouts. Water thoroughly, and don't forget to add root growth liquid and carbendazim to prevent fungal infections in the soil that could cause bulb rot. Once planted, put it in direct sunlight, and it will grow roots and sprouts quickly. When the potting soil is half-dry, water it thoroughly again, adding a dwarfing agent to the water to make the plant grow shorter and the flowers more beautiful.
Narcissus cultivation is very simple, whether it's soil or hydroponic cultivation. It must be exposed to plenty of light. Once it finishes flowering, cut off the spent flowers promptly. The bulbs can be buried in the ground or planted back in the soil. Provide them with plenty of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to help them grow bulbs quickly and restore the bulb's fullness. By summer, they will enter a dormant state and dry up. As long as we ensure the potting soil stays dry and don't water it, they can safely pass the time. When autumn comes, water them again. They won't bloom in the first year but will do so the following year after another year of care. This is what you need to pay attention to in narcissus cultivation, as it blooms in alternate years.
The above is the content on how to grow narcissus bulbs and a detailed explanation of narcissus cultivation techniques, for the reference of green plant enthusiasts. I hope it can solve your problems in green plant and flower management.
