Maintenance methods and precautions of sea daffodils

How to care for sea daffodils

Soil selection for sea daffodils

Choose sandy loam with good drainage and good air permeability as the cultivation medium, and mix it with nutrient-rich peat soil appropriately. After sowing, cover the seeds with a layer of 1-2 cm thick fine sand to promote seed germination.

Fertilization management of sea daffodil

Mix a small amount of manure into the cultivation medium as base fertilizer to ensure sufficient nutrient supply in the early stage and avoid direct application of chemical fertilizers, which may cause seedling and root burning and soil compaction. Apply well-rotted compost or humus as topdressing when planting, at least once a month during the growing season. After the sea daffodil seedlings are transplanted into the garden, trenches should be dug at the roots and fertilizer should be applied every 2 to 3 years during the dormant period in winter or early spring.

Water supply of sea daffodil

Spring is the growth and budding period of sea daffodils, and they need to reserve sufficient water, so you should pay attention to watering during the growing season. With the arrival of the growing season, you should gradually increase the amount of watering to keep the soil moist.
Due to the high temperature and drought in summer, the leaves of the sea lily will turn yellow and shrink or the branches will dry up, so it is important to keep sufficient water. Pay attention to spraying water to cool it down and move it to a semi-shaded and humid place for maintenance.

Potted sea daffodils can be moved indoors in winter. When watering sea daffodils outdoors or in gardens, be careful to reduce the amount of watering to avoid freezing and frostbite on the roots and rhizomes.

Precautions for the maintenance of sea daffodils

Pruning of sea daffodils

The growth period of the sea daffodil is long and its ornamental value is high, so in order to increase its ornamental value. Pruning should be done in early spring, cutting off old, weak, dead branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, while also shortening long branches to promote the formation of new flower buds. Remove the inflorescence in time after flowering to promote flowering next year. The pruning cycle is 2-3 years. Old branches over 3 years old should be pruned off appropriately to promote the growth of new branches.
