Cultivation of daffodils
There are three main methods of daffodil cultivation, soil culture, hydroponic and sasponic, the simplest and most common is hydroponics, which is easy to feed and easy to maintain.
How to hydroponic
Daffodil hydroponics should be cleaned and cut before, the depth of cutting is about 2 to 3cm, soak in water overnight, wash the mucus on the side of the incision, and then put the daffodil scale ball into the pot, the added water can be submerged to one-third of the scale ball, you can add quartz sand and pebbles in the pot to fix the scale ball.
Freshly cultivated daffodils generally have to change the water once a day, and the cycle of water change gradually increases, changing the water once every 2 to 3 days, and changing the water once a week after the buds are formed. Hydroponics can flower in 40 days to 2 months, and the flowering period can be as long as one month.
How to soil cultivation
Daffodils are very adaptable to soil, preferring loose texture and good water retention soils, alluvial soils and other soils rich in organic matter and well-drained soils can be planted.
Lighting requirements
Daffodils are short-day bulbous plants, and the daily light time is about 8 to 10 hours. In the growth stage, it is more exposed to sunlight, and sufficient light is conducive to the accumulation of plant nutrients, thereby promoting the growth of daffodils.
Autumn and winter are sunny days, you can try to put it outdoors to receive light; in summer, the light is stronger, so it can be placed on the balcony with astigmatism. Remember not to keep daffodils in a cool, unlit place, otherwise it will affect their growth and flowering.
Temperature requirements
Daffodils have special requirements for temperature, and they like a cool environment in the early stage of growth and a warm environment in the later stage. The temperature of the most suitable environment for its growth is 17 ~ 23 ° C, and the humidity is maintained at 70 ~ 80%, which is most suitable for the growth of bulbs.
How to water
The demand for water volume in daffodils is generally relatively large, and the demand for water varies at different stages of growth.
The requirements for water quantity at the beginning of bulb planting are not very high, soil-cultivated daffodils only need to keep the soil moist, hydroponic daffodils should be diligent; in the growth period, the water demand is large, and it is necessary to replenish water frequently, and cans can be sprayed around the plant to increase air humidity.
How to fertilize
Fertilizer is an indispensable element for daffodil growth and flowering, especially during the budding period, which consumes a lot of nutrients. Daffodil fertilization is best to use phosphate fertilizer, interval cycle 7 to 10 days once, phosphate fertilizer can promote daffodil flowering, and can make more buds; hydrotrophic daffodils do not need to fertilize, just need to keep the water quality clean and clean, in order to promote its growth, you can get more outdoor sun during the day.
Master the above methods can easily raise daffodils, in addition to the maintenance methods, Xiaobian also summarized the common problems in maintenance ~
Why do daffodils only grow and do not bloom? What should I do?
There are several main reasons for the growth of daffodils: lack of the right amount of light; the temperature is too high; the temperature is not suitable.
Countermeasures: Usually must supplement the light, during the day can be placed in the leeward sunny place, moved back indoors at night, placed in the sunny balcony when the weather is cold, pay attention to ventilation; maintenance temperature is maintained at 15 ~ 20 ° C, the temperature is too high or too low, will lead to slow growth of daffodils, and even into the dormancy period.
Daffodil flowering time is too short, how to extend the flowering time?
Illumination: When daffodils bloom, they are moved to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, avoiding direct light;
Fertilization: Supplementing the appropriate amount of fertilizer is also a way to prolong the flowering period of daffodils, and apply some appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every week;
Other methods: Sprinkle some salt or add a few pieces of aspirin to the hydroponic pot when the daffodils are fully open.
