How to avoid "dumb flowers" in daffodils

How to avoid "dumb flowers" in daffodils

Reason 1: The quality of the daffodils is poor, the quality of the bulbs is poor, the bulbs are small, the nutrients required by the daffodils are insufficient, and they may also be affected by diseases and pests. Although some bulbs are relatively large, their root plates are dry and rotten, and their fibrous roots are sparse.

Method: Select high-quality bulbs with obvious enlarged root plates and densely packed roots, and daffodil heads that are large, plump, and healthy in growth.

Reason 2: Either the room temperature is too high, or there is insufficient light, poor ventilation and other maintenance problems.

Method: The room temperature for the growth of daffodils is generally kept at 10-15 degrees, and they should be placed in a sunny and well-ventilated place. If the temperature is too high, remember to sprinkle water in time to cool it down. Choose a warm and sunny day and place the daffodils outdoors in a sunny place sheltered from the wind between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to experience low temperature training. When it is drier in winter, you can spray some water every day to promote its growth.

Reason three: Improper hydroponics, poor water quality or insufficient water changes can easily cause root rot of daffodils, resulting in "dumb flowers".

Method: Daffodils require pure and unpolluted water. It is best to use rainwater, well water, river water, etc. If you use tap water, it is generally necessary to store it in a container for two or three days before use. Pay attention to changing the water frequently, and it is best to change it with clean water once a day.

Reason 4: When carving the narcissus head, too much bulb was cut off, causing the loss of nutrients in the narcissus head.

Method: Be careful and patient when carving, cut shallowly to avoid damaging the stamens, and retain as many bulb pieces as possible to provide sufficient nutrients for the daffodils to bloom.
