How to grow narcissus

Method 1: Soil

As for the soil for cultivating narcissus, we also briefly introduced it above in the growing habits: narcissus likes to grow in fertile, loose, well-drained sandy soil. PS: In our country, potted narcissus is mostly grown in water.

Method 2: Watering

Narcissus likes a moist growing environment. When watering narcissus, you should follow the watering principle of "water when dry, stop when wet," that is, water when the surface layer of the soil turns white, and just water until moist, keeping the soil "moist." Generally water once a day; during the rainy season when humidity is high, water once every three days.

Method 3: Fertilizing

Narcissus tolerates heavy feeding, but water-grown narcissus generally does not need fertilizing; just drip two drops of nutrient solution every half month. If you want a longer blooming time, add a small amount of glucose when it blooms, and it can produce an unexpected effect.

Method 4: Light

Light is very important for narcissus. If there is not enough light, it is very difficult for it to bloom. When growing narcissus, you should choose a spot with good light to place it, but also avoid the strong direct sun at noon.

Method 5: Propagation

Narcissus is propagated by dividing the bulbs. If the narcissus you are growing produces small offset bulbs, once they grow to a certain size, just break them off and grow them there. Bulb division is generally done in autumn, and after two or three years of growing the divided bulbs, they can bloom.
