1. Seed ball selection

The first step in the hydroponic culture of daffodils is to choose bulbs. From the outside, you should choose healthy, full, flat bulbs. If there are more bulbs next to the main bulb, the more buds the daffodils will have. The shell color of the daffodil seed ball should be bright, the grain distance of the scale skin should be wide, the seed ball is solid, and it has a certain weight. If the bottom depression of the daffodil seed ball is small and deep, it means that the water content of the seed ball is high. It is not recommended to choose.

2. Deal with the upper basin

The second step of water culture of daffodils is to treat the bulb and put it on the pot, peel off the outer skin of the selected bulb, remove the mud and withered roots of the root, and then peel off 3-4 layers of skin on the bulb with a knife to expose the flower buds of the bulb. but be careful not to damage the flower buds when peeling. After peeling, put the bulb in clear water for one night, then you can put it directly into the shallow basin of daffodils and submerge 1/3 of the bulb with water.

3. Light temperature

In the process of raising daffodils in water, it is necessary to give sufficient light, put it in the sunny place during the day, and can be cured at night, which can not only prevent the leaves of daffodils from growing, but also make their leaves short, wide and thick, sturdy, dark green and fragrant. Daffodils grow well at 10-15 degrees, bloom in about 45 days, and the flowering period can be maintained for more than a month.

4. Fertilizer and water management

The most important thing for the water culture of daffodils is fertilizer and water fertilizer. at the beginning of the pot, the daffodils can change the water once a day, and then once every 2-3 days, and once a week after the bud is formed. It is best not to use tap water when raising water. Pollution in tap water can cause narcissus bulbs to rot. General spring water, well water and Rain Water are all fine. If not, tap water can be used after exposure to the sun. Hydroponic daffodils usually take 5-7 days to fertilize, because then the roots grow mature, fertilization will not hurt the roots, but these days do not change water.
