How to sprout narcissus? Detailed explanation of the latest sprouting method
Narcissus is also called Luoshen Xiangfei in China. It is a famous flower in our country. It has pure white petals with a yellow center, which is very beautiful. Its appearance is truly fairy-like, looking especially elegant and grand, attracting many people to grow it. So how should narcissus be sprouted? Let Shuai Shuai introduce it to everyone below!
1. Peeling
Peeling is the first step in sprouting narcissus. The specific method is to peel off the outermost layer of skin from the bulb.
2. Cutting the bulb
This is the second step of sprouting, which is to cut 1 cm into the middle of the side buds from both the front and back, then pry it open to expose the buds inside, and at the same time cut off the two outer layers of skin. Before cutting, first rinse the soil off the bulb and remove the old roots. Note that the buds inside the bulb must not be cut, otherwise all the previous work would be meaningless. Therefore, its buds must not be damaged, otherwise it will be very difficult for it to grow and bloom normally.
3. Soaking
After completing the above two steps, it needs to be soaked for 1 to 2 days. During this period, the narcissus will continuously secrete mucus, so the water should be changed frequently, or the mucus should be removed to keep the water clean.
4. Potting
After soaking is completed, the preparation work for sprouting is finished. Next, just place it in a flowerpot, cover the surface with a layer of rice husks, and place it in the sun.
5. Care
When caring for narcissus, water it once a day to maintain a moist environment. At the same time, the temperature should not be too low. After about a week, new small buds can be seen growing. At this point, we can place it in the sun for growing. After about 50 days, it can bloom. If you want to replant it, you can directly take out the bulb and rinse it clean with water.
The above are the sprouting methods for narcissus. Generally, soaking seeds to sprout is the main method. The most important part of sprouting narcissus is the step of cutting the bulb. Flower friends must absolutely not cut the buds inside the bulb, otherwise once the buds are damaged, the survival rate after they grow out will be greatly reduced, and it will also have a great impact on the flowering rate.
