The care of narcissus generally divides into two methods: hydroponics and soil cultivation. Soil cultivation is less commonly used, and hydroponics is more popular, as many flower enthusiasts enjoy caring for narcissus in water because it is clean and easy to maintain. Today, the editor will focus on the hydroponic method of caring for narcissus.
I. Selecting Bulbs
If we want to grow good bulbs, flower enthusiasts should choose strong bulbs. The following aspects should be considered when choosing bulbs: they should be large in size and free from wounds or insect holes. The bulbs should be round and plump. Weighing the bulbs in hand, if they feel heavy, it indicates good quality.
II. Remove the Rotten Outer Skin
When selecting bulbs, there will undoubtedly be some rotting or dried skin on the outside. Before planting, we must remove this skin. Removing it has two main benefits: it prevents further rotting in water, which could pollute the water, and it promotes the growth of new buds.

III. Disinfect with Dacocide
Before planting narcissus, we must disinfect with dacocide to avoid infection by pathogens. Planting after disinfection reduces the probability of pathogen attack.
We place the purchased narcissus bulbs in a large pot and add a little dacocide to the water, soaking for half a day. Adding a little rooting powder can also promote germination. After soaking, place them in a cool and well-ventilated area to dry before planting in the soil.
IV. Planting Narcissus
We can find a large pot, put the bulbs in, and use larger stones to stabilize them. Then, add clear water. The water should be about 1/3 of the height of the bulbs, not covering the entire bulb to avoid rotting the bulb, but not too little either to avoid dryness.
V. Maintenance
After planting narcissus, we should place it in a well-lit environment for a period of time and change the water every 3-5 days. There is now a special nutrient solution for narcissus that can be added to the water to provide nutrients and promote blooming. If using water-soluble fertilizer, the frequency of water changing should be more frequent.
