1. Planting time.
If you want to enjoy daffodils during the Spring Festival, you can choose to buy bulbs and come back for hydroponics a month before the Spring Festival, and they can bloom after about a month.
2. Choose healthy bulbs.
If you want to raise daffodils well, the bulbs are very important, you must choose a strong, full and healthy bulb, or choose a bulge with a bulge on the side, so that more flower arrows will germinate in the later stage. If the bulb is relatively thin, or has a disease or injury, it is more difficult to raise it, let alone let it bloom.
3. Planting methods.
1. Before planting, peel off the brown skin on its surface to expose the white cortex, and then use a knife to cut off the rot at the bottom of the sphere.
2. Prepare a basin of water, add an appropriate amount of quartin to the water, and soak the bulbs in the basin for 24 hours.
After an hour, remove it, rinse the mucus off the bulb surface with clean water and dry it overnight.
4. Prepare a sterilized knife and draw a figure of eight on the outside of the bulb to a depth of 2 to 3 mm, which can release more bud points and more flowering in the later stage.
5. Choose a watertight container, put the processed bulbs evenly into the container, add 1 to 2 cm of water, and the water level should not be too high, just over the root of the bulbs.
Fourth, maintenance precautions.
1. Hydroponic daffodils can't have too much water, if they grow in a humid environment all day long, daffodils will only grow leaves and do not bloom. The method of water cultivation during the period is as follows: the water is just below the root system, and the water in the pot should be discarded at night, and the water should be replenished the next morning.
2. Daffodils should bask in more sunlight during the day to ensure that there are more than 6 hours of light.
3. Daffodils are suitable for growing in a warm environment, the best growth temperature is between 10 and 15 degrees, and the minimum temperature cannot be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise it is prone to frostbite. During the bud stage, if the temperature is too high or too low, it will inhibit its flowering, and it will only grow leaves but not bloom. Therefore, the temperature is controlled between 10 and 15 during the day and between 8 and 10 at night.
In conclusion, growing daffodils requires patience and care, and only with the right planting conditions and the right maintenance methods can daffodils thrive and produce beautiful flowers. Hopefully, the daffodil cultivation methods described above will help you.
