What benefits does cutting the bulb have for narcissus? Then below, Shuaishuai will tell everyone why narcissus bulbs need to be cut!

1. Benefits of cutting the bulb

1. Cutting the narcissus bulb allows the flower buds to grow out as quickly as possible, because cutting the bulb lets the flower buds emerge earlier. When cutting the bulb, the outer skin wrapping the flower buds is cut open, giving the buds an exit for growth.

2. After cutting the bulb, the flower buds will grow even better, because they no longer need to consume extra nutrients for the energy needed to break through the outer skin. This saves a large portion of nutrients and results in better growth.

3. The step of cutting the bulb is very beneficial for some carving enthusiasts, and is very helpful for them when carving narcissus bulbs. When cutting the bulb, carving can be done to create different plant forms for it.

4. It can improve the ornamental value of the plant, especially during the flowering period. When cutting the bulb, all the already withered and shriveled outer skin can be removed, which can play a cleaning role.

2. Method of cutting the bulb

1. Make the cut right in the middle between the two side buds, cutting down about 1cm deep. Everyone does not need to worry that the buds inside will be cut, because under normal circumstances the buds grow right in the middle of the whole bulb, and the thickness of the bulb's outer skin is also far greater than 1cm.

2. After cutting one side, turn to the back and make another cut, then pry it open along the slit.

Actually, many beginners are still very puzzled by this step when it comes to cutting the bulb. In fact, beginners can cut it or not cut it. It is just that after cutting the bulb, the plant form grows more graceful than one that has not been cut. At the same time, cutting the bulb will not affect the health of the plant. However, if you choose to cut the bulb, and you touch its branches and leaves while cutting, you must wash your hands clean, because the sap of the plant is toxic.

The above are the reasons why narcissus bulbs need to be cut. Did all you flower friends understand? Do you feel suddenly enlightened?
