When a plant is in full bloom, that is its most beautiful moment. It is also the time when it has the highest ornamental value. Narcissus has the reputation of a fairy among flowers, and it must be very beautiful when it blooms. So when does narcissus bloom? Narcissus flowers bloom during the Spring Festival, and if well cultivated, you can enjoy them for two to three months.
【One, narcissus blooms in winter】
<1>
Narcissus is one of China's top ten famous flowers, with the growth characteristic of growing in autumn, blooming in winter, and dormant in summer. It blooms during the Spring Festival, and if it blooms early, it will bloom in January. If well cultivated, its blooming period can last until March.

Single-petal narcissus blooms at the end of December, with white corolla, yellow calyx, 6 petals, golden corona in the middle, shaped like a lamp, fragrant flowers, hence called "golden lamp jade platform", with a blooming period of about half a month; if the corona is white, with more flowers and slightly thinner leaves, it is called "silver lamp jade platform."

Double-petal narcissus blooms at the beginning of January, with white flowers, 12 petals, rolled into a cluster with light yellow at the bottom and pale white at the top, without obvious corona, named "hundred-leaf narcissus" or "jade elegance", with a blooming period of about 20 days. The flower shape is not as beautiful as the single-petal variety, and the fragrance is also poorer, which is a variant of narcissus.
The knowledge about narcissus

Chinese narcissus can bloom after 2-3 years of cultivation. It is cultivated in September and October when autumn comes. The leaves wither in May of the following year, and in June, the bulb enters dormancy. During the dormant period, the bulb carries out physiological and biochemical activities. After entering dormancy in the second year, the bulbs are dug, and the large bulbs bloom in winter.
【Two, methods to extend the blooming period of narcissus】
<1>
When narcissus blooms, it can be placed in a well-ventilated environment, away from high-temperature radiators, avoiding direct sunlight. During the bud growth period, narcissus requires a lot of nutrients, and you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer appropriately every week, which can extend the blooming period by a week.

When 1 or 2 narcissus flowers open, remove the bulb, put it in the refrigerator, and take it out after a few days to put it back in the pot. This can effectively extend the blooming period. Additionally, you can sprinkle salt in the pot, but be careful not to sprinkle salt when the flower buds have not opened.
【Three, reasons why narcissus does not bloom】
<1>
If the bulb you purchase is of poor quality, it will take a few years of cultivation to bloom. Also, if the indoor temperature is too high, there is insufficient sunlight, the environment is dry, the water is not changed frequently, or the bulb is injured during water changing, it will affect blooming.
<2>
Improper hydroponics. Narcissus usually starts growing after the frost descent and is in a dormant state throughout the summer before the frost descent. If the bulb is hydroponically cultivated before the frost descent or after Qingming, the bulb cannot grow normally, resulting in哑花 (无声花, meaning silent or unblooming flower).
<Conclusion>
Narcissus blooms in winter. To make narcissus bloom well, you must choose high-quality bulbs that are over three years old, water them with rainwater or pond water, and if using tap water, let it sit for a few days before watering. Maintain sufficient sunlight and appropriate temperature, and keep it in a ventilated environment.
