Why do my daffodils never blossom indoors every year? what do you need to pay attention to?

See the snowflakes outside in winter, while the indoor daffodils bloom brightly, which must make you very happy. It is very simple to maintain the daffodils indoors. Just a shallow basin and a little water is enough. Other things you need to pay attention to are to give a suitable environment, maintain a suitable temperature and a certain light intensity.

To raise daffodils at home, first of all, you should choose a suitable container. Hydroponic daffodils had better use a relatively shallow flowerpot. The water level should not be too deep. It is OK to have about 1 inch of daffodils bulbs. Soil culture and protection should use flowerpots with good drainage, and the soil should also be loose and breathable.

You can also prepare a special hydroponic container, only let the root system of daffodils contact with water, the top bulb can not be soaked in water, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten stem.

Hydroponic daffodils can add some granular stones to the bottom of the container to make the daffodils grow neatly so that their bulbs can grow steadily upward, but be careful not to damage the buds.

If the soil-cultivated daffodils should be placed in the right place, the soil covers about 2 of the bulbs, and 1 of them is exposed to the soil. There is no need for frequent watering and fertilization, and brilliant flowers can bloom in the right place.

The temperature of maintenance should not be too high, the temperature should be kept between 12 and 18 degrees, the most suitable position for maintenance can be given appropriate scattered light, to avoid hot sun exposure or excessive direct sunlight.

If daffodils do not blossom well or do not blossom, it is likely to be due to the following reasons.

1. Remove leaves prematurely

After the daffodils bloom, deal with the residual flowers in time, but the leaves cannot be cut off. If the leaves are removed prematurely, the daffodils may not be able to bloom in the coming year, because these leaves will store nutrients and wait for the leaves to wither before they can be cut off. Only in this way can the bulbs of daffodils preserve more nutrients.

After the daffodils' flowers wither, these nutrients continue to develop in the leaves. Wait until the leaves of the daffodils turn yellow before they can be cut off so that the daffodils can keep blooming every year.

two。 Planting is too late

Planting daffodils too late will not only affect flowering, the leaves will also grow poorly, even if they bloom, the flowers will grow very delicate and very low ornamental.

Whether hydroponic or soil-cultured daffodils, check regularly to see if the bulbs show signs of decay. If the daffodils' bulbs grow healthily, they can be cut off after the flowers wither and the leaves turn yellow. when the weather gets cooler in autumn, it can be replanted, properly replenished with fertilizer, and keep blooming every year.

3. Too little sunshine

Among the reasons why daffodils cannot blossom, too little light is also very fatal. if daffodils are planted outside the house, if you want to promote them to blossom, you need about six hours of sufficient light a day to promote flowering. Of course, avoid exposure or excessive direct sunlight.

If they are potted daffodils, you can put them on the windowsill with appropriate scattered light. If they are hydroponically maintained daffodils, you can't see too much light, and you can have appropriate scattered light every morning or evening. Only in this way can we promote the daffodils to bloom.

4. Too much nitrogen fertilizer

The conservation of daffodils should not be fertilized indiscriminately. If there is too much nitrogen fertilizer in the soil, the daffodils will not bloom. If you give some fertilizers with too much nitrogen content, the daffodils usually grow very exuberant leaves, and it is almost impossible for them to bloom.

Usually, when fertilizing daffodils, you can use fertilizers with high nitrogen content. Occasionally, you can give some fertilizers with an average concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, usually 10:20:20, or compound fertilizer at 0:10:10, or some potassium dihydrogen phosphate before the flowers are pregnant.

5. Overcrowding in planting

Whether potted or cultivated daffodils, if very few flowers are blooming, they may be overcrowded, and the bulbs at the bottom of the daffodils will continue to divide, and their bulbs can be dug up after flowering. Keep it in a cool place in autumn and replant it after the weather gets cooler.

Pot maintenance of daffodil bulbs should also have appropriate gaps to ensure that there is enough space to grow, so as to promote flowering.

6. Bulb wilt

If the daffodil bulbs wither and rot, it will also cause the daffodils can not blossom, so the cultivation of daffodils must use well-drained flowerpots and soil, but also pay attention to avoid frequent watering, otherwise it will lead to corm rot.
