Today, the editor will elaborate on how to care for narcissus best and the correct maintenance strategy of narcissus, followed by the introduction of some flower cultivation knowledge by the site editor for netizens.
Narcissus, one of China's traditional famous flowers, is a variant of the French multiflowered narcissus, and has a cultivation history of more than a thousand years in China. Narcissus blooms in the winter and spring seasons every year, with a strong fragrance when in bloom, making it the first choice for home flower cultivation.
The narcissus flowers are small flowers in white, yellow, or pink colors, with a fragrant and unique scent, symbolizing loyal love, and are therefore deeply loved by scholars. Zhu Xi wrote a famous line describing the narcissus: "Where does the fairy in the water come from, with green sleeves, yellow crown, and white jade flowers." It is said that the narcissus is transformed from the melancholic Luo Water Fairy, hence the elegant title "Fairy of the Ripple."
The most common color is white, with a small amount of yellow and pink.
According to the region of origin, there is a difference between Chinese narcissus and foreign narcissus, with all varieties except Chinese narcissus being foreign narcissus. Foreign narcissus have a very light scent or no scent at all, and the flower shape is relatively larger compared to the Chinese narcissus. If the Chinese narcissus is considered a modest and elegant girl, then the foreign narcissus can certainly be regarded as a noble and graceful lady.

Cultivation of narcissus
There are mainly three methods of narcissus cultivation: soil cultivation, hydroponics, and sand cultivation, with hydroponics being the simplest and most common, as it is easy to care for and convenient.
How to hydroponic
Before hydroponic cultivation of narcissus, it should be cleaned and cut, with the depth of the cut being about 2~3 cm. Soak it in water overnight, clean the sticky liquid around the cut, then place the narcissus bulb in a container, adding water to cover one-third of the bulb, and you can add quartz sand or pebbles to the pot to stabilize the bulb.
Usually, the newly cultivated narcissus needs to change water once a day, and then the water-changing cycle gradually increases, changing water every 2~3 days. After the flower bud is formed, you can change the water once a week. Hydroponic cultivation for 40 days to 2 months can make the flowers bloom, with the flowering period lasting up to a month.
