The latest culture methods of daffodils

Chinese daffodil is one of the important varieties of French daffodils, which is mainly concentrated in the southeast coast of China. Daffodils like to be warm, moist and well drained. Daffodils originated in Jiangling, Hubei Province. It has been cultivated in China for more than a thousand years and is one of the traditional famous flowers in China.

Select seed ball

The pros and cons of daffodils determine how many flowers bloom and whether the fragrance is strong. If you want to raise a good pot of daffodils, you must start from choosing a good daffodil bulb, which can be selected from four aspects: looking at the shape, observing the color, pressing and asking the village.

1, look at the shape: high-quality daffodil bulbs, generally large, flat, hard, epidermis longitudinal vein stripes distance is wide, the media is very tight, the skin color is bright, the root disc is broad and thick, and there are symmetrical bulbs beside the main bulb.

2, look at the color: from the outside, the bulb is dark brown, the capsule is intact, the color is bright, there are no signs of decay and insect pests.

3. Pressing: pressing is the main means to select and identify the number of daffodils arrows. Can use thumb and index finger to hold the bulb, press a little hard, feel the outline is columnar, elastic, more solid, for flower arrow; feel soft, the outline is flat, the elasticity is slightly less, then mostly leaf buds.

4. Wenzhuang: daffodils are generally packed in bamboo baskets of the same size, with four packaging specifications for 20, 30, 40 and 50 bulbs in each basket, commonly known as 20, 30, 40 and 50. The smaller the number of bulbs per basket, the larger the bulb. For example, with 20 bulbs in each basket, the diameter of each corm can reach 12 cm, which is first-class; the individual of 30 corms is slightly smaller than that of 20 cubes. The above two kinds of daffodil bulbs can generally blossom more than 4-7 arrows per ball, which is the top grade. 40 Qing and 50 Zhuang bulbs, the individual is much smaller, generally only 1-3 arrows of flowers.

Dormant ball budding

1. Strip: peel off a layer of brown epidermis on the outside of the bulb.

2. Cut the ball: in the upper half of the bulb, the left and right parts of the bulb are cross-cut at 3 points each, and then 2-3 layers of scales are cut upward, and at the same time, a knife is cut down in the middle of the left and right sides of the bud, down to the waist of the ball. During the operation, the tender buds should be avoided and the old roots and soil at the bottom should be carefully removed.

3. Soak the ball: soak the chopped bulb ball in clean water for 1-2 days, then rinse the glue out of the ball.

4. Sprouting: the soaked bulbs should be exposed to the sun, preferably in a container and covered with rice chaff. Water the rice chaff once a day to keep the chaff warm and humid. At this time, we should pay attention to the cold and light is too strong, can be properly covered. A week later, new buds sprout and can fully expose the sun. About 50 days, the flower head darts out, you can take out the daffodil ball, rinse clean, transplant in the water basin.

Culture method

Daffodils like sunshine and warmth, and require high humidity in the air, not very cold-resistant, and afraid of heat, and the vegetative growth period needs wet sandy soil without stagnant water. Narcissus is different from other perennial herbaceous flowers in that it begins to grow in autumn, blossoms in winter, stores nutrients in spring and dormancy in summer. There are two methods to cultivate daffodils: hydroponic culture and soil cultivation.

1. Hydroponic culture of daffodils

The water culture method is to use the shallow basin water immersion method to culture, put the daffodils upright into the daffodil shallow basin, add water to submerge the bulb 1/3, and the bulb can be fixed with quartz sand and pebbles in the basin.

① daffodil pots should be placed in sunny places during the day and moved indoors at night, and the water in the pots should be poured out to control the excessive growth of leaves. Add water the next morning and be careful not to move the direction of the bulb. Just on the basin, daffodils can change the water once a day, and then every 2-3 days, after the formation of the bud, change the water once a week. Daffodils grow well at 10-15 degrees, bloom in about 45 days, and the flowering period can be maintained for more than a month.

② daffodils during aquaculture, especially to give sufficient light, during the day to put in the sun, at night can be put under the light. In this way, the stems and leaves of daffodils can be prevented from growing, while the leaves of daffodils are short, wide and strong, with thick green leaves and fragrant flowers. Water to raise daffodils, generally do not need fertilization, if there are conditions, in the flowering period a little application of some available phosphate fertilizer, flowers can bloom better.

③ does not need any flower fertilizer to raise daffodils, just use clean water. In order to make the daffodils grow strong, you should get the balcony to bask in the sun during the day. If you want to postpone the florescence, you can take the method of lowering the water temperature, or pour out the basin water in the evening and add fresh water the next morning. In addition, if the full bud is not seen 10 days before the festival, the method of heating the water supply can be used to promote the flower, and the water temperature should be close to the body temperature.

As long as you master the conditions for the maintenance of daffodils, you can "bloom as you like"; otherwise, it will be delayed, or even the long leaves will not bloom.

2. Soil culture of daffodils.

① soil culture method is seldom used in families, that is, most moist soil flower cultivation methods are used to cultivate daffodils. In mid-late October, large bulbs were planted in small porous flowerpots with fertile sandy soil, half exposed, and some fine sand should be padded under the scales to facilitate drainage. Put the flowerpot in the room with plenty of sunshine and suitable temperature. It is better to take 4 to 12 ℃, too low temperature is easy to produce frost injury, too high temperature plus insufficient light, easy to grow steeply, plant is weak, flowering time is short, reduce ornamental value. If the requirements of light and temperature are met in the management, the leaves will be enlarged and the flowers will be stout, thus making the flowers bloom large and fragrant for a long time. If you cultivate daffodils in soil, you can apply liquid fertilizer two or three times before flowering.

② daffodils can not reproduce on their own due to limited climatic conditions. The cultivation of daffodils, if there is no harm to diseases and insect pests, do not need to be sprayed. Water culture of daffodils in winter, temperature, light and water supply are the three elements of whether the daffodils can blossom. The growth of daffodils requires plenty of sunlight; the suitable temperature is 12 ℃-15 ℃; clean water.
