How to raise lilac daffodils
Narcissus is easy to raise, but raising a pot of narcissus is not a simple matter. One of the most common problems is that the leaves are white and long, which leads to a large consumption of nutrients, and finally it is difficult to bloom, losing the ornamental value of narcissus itself. So what should we pay attention to in the process of planting daffodils?
First, sufficient light.
Light is very important for the growth of daffodils. If there is insufficient light in the growing period, the leaves will grow white, and if there is no light for a long time, the flowering time will also be affected.
Therefore, daffodils should be placed in sunny places and receive direct sunlight during the planting process and after entering the growth period, so as to reduce the growth rate of leaves and accumulate nutrients for growth. Near the flowering period, it is best to put it in a place with lights at night, so that the daffodils will have excellent fragrance.
Second, the appropriate temperature.
Secondly, temperature control, the temperature suitable for narcissus growth is between 15 ~ 20, too high or too low, which is not suitable for its growth. So when the weather is cold, it is best to put daffodils indoors near the window, so that you can get sunshine without affecting your growth because of low temperature. When the weather is hot and the sun is shining at noon, we should also avoid outdoor exposure.
Third, moderate watering.
The other is hydration. During the growth of narcissus, the demand for water is relatively large, and the requirements for water are different in different periods and different cultivation methods. From the bulb stage to the flowering stage, the amount of watering is gradually reduced, and watering should be done every day during the growing period. Hydroponics need to be changed once a day, and soil culture needs to be watered once a day.
Be careful not to use tap water directly in the process of adding water. It takes two days to use. You can use soapy water once in a while when watering. Narcissus itself contains alkaloids, and soapy water can play an assimilation role. You also need to use aspirin water occasionally. It contains salicylic acid, which can promote flower bud differentiation, make narcissus blossom early and make flowers more beautiful.
Fourth, fertilization.
Narcissus, as an Amaryllidaceae plant, has little demand for nutrients and can grow normally only by changing water frequently. But if it wants to grow better after flowering, we need to fertilize it once before flowering. Fertilization is mainly based on flower compound fertilizer, which can promote the metabolism of daffodils and the flowers are bright and fragrant.
The above are the four links that should be paid attention to when planting lilac daffodils. If we want leaves to grow normally, we should pay attention to these places. Finally, there is another problem that needs our attention. Whether in hydroponics or soil culture, the growth environment of narcissus should be kept alkaline, otherwise, even if we do well in other places, we can still control the problem of excessive leaf growth.
