Secondly, daffodils grow rapidly in autumn and winter and enter a dormant period in summer. During the maintenance process, it generally does not require fertilizer to grow well.

Finally, daffodils prefer humidity, so when caring for them, you need to always keep the humidity of the plant high so that its leaves will grow stronger, but they cannot tolerate waterlogging environments, so do not water them excessively.

Daffodil growth temperature

Narcissus is a plant that is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment. The temperature should usually be controlled at 18-20℃. In summer, when the temperature is high, appropriate cooling measures can be taken. In winter, when the temperature is low, it is recommended to place it indoors and control the temperature not lower than 18℃.

Daffodil growth process

When you first buy daffodils, they are just bulbs. After soaking them in water for a period of time, the bulbs will gradually swell, and then grow leaves. Then the leaves will lengthen and expand. During this period, you need to add some nutrients to help the flower stalks to stretch out. Then they will enter the stage of flower bud differentiation, and the flower buds will eventually bloom into flowers.

Narcissus planting time and method

The best season for planting daffodils is in autumn, specifically from September to October, when the temperature is suitable and the seeds are easy to grow and develop after planting.

Daffodils can be grown in water or soil. Both methods require the bulbs to be soaked in a solution of carbendazim. When growing them in pots using water, change the water every day, and then gradually change the water every two or three days. When growing them in soil, wait until the carbendazim solution on the bulb's surface has dried before planting them in the soil.
