The Growth and Change of Narcissus
Comprehensive analysis of the growth and change of narcissus, related green plant content, detailed introduction is as follows.
The Growth and Change of Narcissus
The growth and change of narcissus mainly involve three processes. The first process: the yellow bud on top of the bulb turns green; the second process: six long leaves sprout, and a green flower grows in the middle of the leaves; the third process: the flowers bloom, emitting a fragrance.
When narcissus is purchased, it is a small bulb, mainly cultivated in water. The bulbs will constantly collide, and they will sprout within 2-4 days. Then, leaves sprout from the bulbs and continuously extend and grow. Next, let's specifically introduce the growth process of narcissus from small to large.
Changes in the Growth Process of Narcissus
Phase One: GerminationThe germination time of narcissus depends on the specific environment. Generally, in the cultivation process, germination occurs within 2-4 days, the yellow bud on the bulb turns green, and then leaves sprout.
In an environment of about 15°C, germination takes 2-3 weeks. In an environment below 5°C, it takes 1-2 months to germinate.
Phase Two: Growing LeavesOne week after narcissus germinates, the plant should be moved to a place with plenty of sunlight to avoid excessive growth.
Now, each bulb has grown two leaves, and the larger the bulb, the wider and thicker the leaves, indicating better health.
Phase Three: Growing Flower StalksAfter the narcissus bulb absorbs (S-Y) nutrients, the flower stalk will sprout, usually when 3-4 leaves have grown. In suboptimal conditions, it takes 3-4 months for the plant to go from germination to producing flower stalks.
Phase Four: Growing Flower BudsFinally, the narcissus has bloomed its first flower. To make the flowers more vibrant, it is best to keep the plant in an environment of about 10°C and frequently spray water to maintain sufficient humidity.
Phase Five: Flower BloomThe narcissus flowers bloom, emitting a fragrant aroma. In terms of growth environment, narcissus thrives at a temperature of about 12-20°C, and moderate fertilization is required after flowering.
Characteristics of Narcissus Flowering
Narcissus, also known as Chinese narcissus, blooms in spring and is a variant of the multiflowered narcissus, a perennial herbaceous plant of the Amaryllidaceae family. Narcissus leaves sprout from the top of the white cylindrical sheath of the bulb and then sprout from the leaves.
Usually, each bulb can produce 1-2 flower stems, and up to 8-11 in some cases, forming an umbel inflorescence. Its petals are usually 6, with the tip of the petals being pale yellow.
After flowering, there is a protective cup-like structure around the narcissus pistil. The bulb is ovoid to broadly ovoid spherical, covered with brownish skin. The leaves are narrow and strap-shaped, and the fruit capsule dehisces dorsally.
Growth Environment Requirements for Narcissus
① Narcissus is an autumn planted bulbous greenhouse flower that enjoys plenty of sunlight, has strong vitality, can tolerate semi-shade, and is not cold-resistant.
② From July to August, it sheds leaves and enters dormancy. During the dormant period, the growth point of the bulb undergoes flower bud differentiation, with the physiological characteristics of growing in autumn and winter, blooming in early spring, and dormant in summer.
③ Narcissus enjoys sunlight, water, and fertilizer, suitable for warm and humid climates, and fertile sandy soil.
④ Narcissus prefers cool conditions in the early growth stage, slightly cold-tolerant in the middle stage, and warm conditions in the later stage. Therefore, it requires a climate environment without severe cold in winter, no extreme heat in summer, and plenty of rain in spring and autumn.
The above introduction to the growth and change of narcissus is for reference by green plant enthusiasts, hoping to solve your problems in green plant and flower management.
