The intriguing daffodils, naturally beautiful like fairies descending to the mortal world, the fresh and refined petals exude a faint fragrance, like a fresh breeze, giving people a pleasant feeling of the soul. Daffodils carry hundreds of years of Chinese cultural heritage, and their long history is enduring and not only loved by the Chinese, but also won the favor of people around the world. Now, I will explain to you how daffodils are cultivated and what makes them unique.
As a treasure in the heart of a planting enthusiast, the cultivation of daffodils cannot achieve its noble and elegant bloom without rich experience and knowledge accumulation. In this field, in addition to a deep foundation in natural science, we also need to have a unique perspective, be good at discovering the beauty of things, and feel the power of nature. Next, I would like to share a few exclusive tips about daffodil breeding, I hope you can also appreciate the beauty of daffodils.
First of all, there is the seed propagation method. At the end of October, when the daffodils are the first to emerge, we just need to sprinkle them with fertile soil, cover them with a thin soil of the right temperature, enjoy 6-7 hours of sunlight a day, and water them with the right amount of water. Of course, in order to prevent the invasion of pests and diseases such as large brown spot, rot disease, nematode disease, etc., we also need to spray pesticides regularly to ensure the healthy growth of plants. When the seedlings grow to 6-8 cm, they can be transplanted into other pots, which need to be moistened and the temperature must be strictly controlled around 25°C to avoid damage to the plant roots.
Secondly, tuber propagation is also a common and good way to breed daffodils. Also in October, we need to pick out the tubers that are in good shape and free of germs, cut them into small pieces, each of which should have a bud eye, and then place these small pieces in the soil made of moist sandy soil, carefully control the temperature to 12-20°C, and enjoy 6-7 hours of sunlight every day. During this process, new water needs to be replaced daily to avoid water quality deterioration affecting plant health. Usually after about 20-30 days, the new shoots germinate from the tubers, which is the best time for transplanting. In order to avoid infection of plant roots by pathogens, it is important to ensure that the humidity during transplanting is moderate, and the temperature should be controlled at around 25°C.
Then, bulb propagation was also applied to daffodils. Around October every year, the dead branches and old roots on the daffodil bulbs are cleaned and placed in a shaded place for maintenance. Keep in mind that during this period, the indoor ambient temperature must be strictly controlled at around 25°C and sufficient light exposure must be ensured. During the maintenance period, change the water frequently to avoid damage to the plant roots caused by water quality problems. After about 1-2 weeks of careful care, new shoots may sprout on the bulb, which is an auspicious day for transplanting. During this process, it is important to ensure that the humidity is abundant and that the temperature is tightly controlled around 25°C.
Finally, we will introduce the hydroponic propagation method. This is especially useful for home growers and is quite easy to operate. Just trim and clean the dead branches and leaves of the daffodils and the old roots, place them cleanly in a unique vase, pour enough water in a timely manner, prepare the nutrient solution suitable for the concentration, strictly adjust the temperature in the water between 12-20 °C, and distribute the light appropriately at the specified time on the day. At this stage of growth, it is also necessary to change the water source every day to ensure that the water is clean and avoid infection at the root of the plant. It is important to note that during the cultivation process, it is important to keep the vase clean and tidy at all times to prevent water pollution from causing daffodils to rot roots or breeding insects and bacteria.
Of course, there are many other ways to grow daffodils, each with its own unique advantages and characteristics, for you to choose and choose from. According to the different personal preferences and planting conditions, choose the most suitable cultivation method for yourself, so that you can enjoy the beauty of blooming in the shortest time and make life full of joy.
I believe that under everyone's careful care, you will be able to see the daffodils bloom with a smile on your face, overlook the prosperous scene of its flying in the sky, and feel the beautiful gifts given by nature.
