Do you know about these? The experience related to growing narcissus to make it more vigorous and the techniques for beginners to care for narcissus, let's learn about it together next.
Soil: Use sandy soil with good water retention to grow narcissus. Watering: Initially, water every day, and before flowering, you can water every 2-3 days. Lighting: Place the freshly planted narcissus in a shaded area, and move it to a sunny place after 5 days. Temperature: 12-20°C is suitable.
I. Soil
Sandy cultivation method: Since narcissus prefers a warm and humid environment, loose and fertile sandy soil with good water retention is generally used for cultivation. Fill the cleaned fine sand into the pot to 3cm from the rim, peel off the outer skin of the bulb and bury it about 1cm into the sand, then cover the top of the fine sand with a few small stones.
Hydroponic method: Pour water that has been set aside for a few days into a shallow pot, ensuring it submerges the clean bulb about 1cm, and then place it in a shaded area.
II. Watering
Sandy cultivation method: When planting with sand and stones, water thoroughly the first time and water every day; if watering is not timely, it can cause water shortage and lead to slow growth of the flower roots.
Hydroponic method: When growing narcissus in water, change the water once a day, otherwise it can cause the stems to rot. Daily water changes can keep the regrown roots clean and white. When changing the water, you can set aside the tap water for 2-3 days in advance to clear the excess chlorine and other impurities. Before flowering, you can change the water every 2-3 days.
III. Lighting
After planting narcissus, first move it to a shaded area and then to a sunny place after 5 days. It is a sun-loving plant, and generally 6-7 hours of sunlight per day is sufficient; if the lighting is not adequate, it may lead to fewer flowers.
IV. Temperature
The temperature for growing narcissus should not be too high or too low, generally around 12-20°C is suitable. Too high a temperature can cause the leaves to grow excessively and the flower color to appear dull.
V. Precautions
1. Fertilizing: Fertilize 5-7 days after planting, because at this time the roots have just matured, and fertilizing will not hurt the roots. Do not change the water for 5-7 days after fertilizing, otherwise the fertility of the soil will be lost.
2. Flowering period: Narcissus can be planted from autumn and winter and will bloom in early spring; generally, narcissus bulbs can bloom as scheduled after about 40 days, and the flowering period can last almost a month.
