Add a little something when caring for potted narcissus, and the flowering period will last longer

Narcissus is the city flower of Zhangzhou City, Fujian. To care for narcissus well, the first thing you need to know is its growth habits. If you do not understand the growth habits of narcissus, it is very difficult to grow it well. Narcissus growth habits: Narcissus is a plant that likes a warm, humid growing environment with plenty of sunlight. Narcissus also fears strong direct sunlight and likes to grow in fertile, loose, well-drained sandy soil.

Narcissus likes a humid growing environment. When watering narcissus, 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. Light is very important to narcissus. If there is not enough light, it is very difficult for it to bloom. When growing narcissus, choose a spot with good lighting to place it, but also avoid the strong midday sun.

It should be noted that no matter which type of narcissus it is, its bulbs are toxic, so do not let children eat them by mistake. When narcissus is blooming, add a small amount of glucose and the flowering period will last longer. Narcissus tolerates heavy fertilizer, but hydroponic narcissus generally does not need fertilizing; just drip two drops of nutrient solution every half month. If you want a longer flowering time, add a small amount of glucose when it blooms, and it can produce unexpected results.

Narcissus is an autumn-planted bulbous flower. It can be grown both in soil and in water, and it is very ornamental. Narcissus prefers a warm environment with plenty of light. Narcissus generally sheds its leaves and enters dormancy in July and August, and grows during dormancy. In the cold autumn and winter, it is suitable for growth. Narcissus blooms in early spring. So, how do you grow narcissus in winter?

In general, the suitable temperature for narcissus is 4°C to 25°C, with 15°C to 18°C being the best. When growing it in winter, pay attention to keeping it warm. Unlike other perennial herbaceous flowers, narcissus has the characteristics of beginning to grow in autumn, blooming in winter, storing nutrients in spring, and going dormant in summer.

Narcissus is generally a short-day plant. In general, giving it about 6 hours of light per day is enough, so during cultivation you can place narcissus on a balcony to get an appropriate amount of light. If the light time is insufficient, it will lead to fewer narcissus blooms. Narcissus needs sufficient nutrients during its growth period, so during its growth and flowering period, apply a little phosphate fertilizer, which can make the narcissus bloom more beautifully.
