How to make a miniature narcissus bonsai:

Decide on a theme:

First, roughly conceive the theme you want to create, such as the meaning you want to express. This is a very important point: only with a concept can there be creation.

Selecting materials:

Choose a small flower pot you like, or you can use a small purple clay pot; when selecting the plants, you can take offshoot bulbs with flower buds from the main bulbs of 10 to 20 bulbs, in unlimited quantity.

Carving the bulb:

The carving method is the same as for normal potted narcissus, mainly pruning its bulb, which allows it to enter the flowering period earlier, and under suitable conditions it can be maintained for about a month. But note that after pruning the bulb, it must be rinsed with clean water for 3 consecutive days, mainly to wash off the liquid seeping from the pruned parts; at the same time, all the water must be poured out at night, and water added normally during the day, also for three consecutive days.

Care:

The care method is the same as for normal potted care, but there is also a difference, namely temperature: the daytime temperature is best kept at around 10 degrees, while the nighttime temperature is best above 4 degrees.

Pruning and adjusting:

When the flowers begin to open, prune the plant once, cutting off all the denser or weaker branches and leaves, then reasonably adjust the positions of some flowers, and finally let its root system be completely exposed.

Special reminder:

Narcissus needs more water than ordinary plants, so during the care process, replenishment must be timely.
