How to best care for narcissus
A guide to share some tips on how to best care for narcissus and an explanation of narcissus planting methods, detailing the following information:
Narcissus is a plant commonly seen in our daily lives. Narcissus prefers warm, humid, well-drained conditions, plenty of sunlight, and has a strong vitality. Next, we will introduce in detail from two aspects: planting methods and precautions.
1. Hydroponic Cultivation
If you want to grow narcissus hydroponically, you need to choose healthy narcissus bulbs without damage to their skin. Clean them thoroughly, peel off the outer skin of the narcissus, expose its buds, make a vertical cut on the sides of the top of the bulb without the smaller bulbs, to a depth of one-third of the bulb's body. Only cut the scales, making sure not to hurt the tender leaf buds. Then soak them for about two days. On the third day, you can place them in a sterilized container, adding water to cover one-third of the narcissus bulb. Also, clean the roots by trimming 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 and fill it with fertile and loose soil. Peel off the dry 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 ventilated place to wait for it to root.
3. Precautions
Newly planted narcissus needs to be changed water daily. When the narcissus bud forms, the water needs to be changed once a week, and a small amount of nutrient solution can be added to provide 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, pour out the water from the pot and place it indoors to prevent the leaves from growing too long. Add fresh water the next day.
No fertilizer is needed to grow narcissus; tap water can meet the plant's daily growth needs. The temperature for growing narcissus should not be too high or too low, usually maintaining between 10℃-20℃ in the early stage, and later it is suitable to grow in a place with a temperature of 20℃-25℃. Narcissus prefers a sunny environment, and insufficient light may affect its growth.
