Do you want to throw away the seed ball

When raising daffodils, many people appreciate the beautiful flower posture of daffodils and think that daffodils can no longer bloom again. They will throw away the seed balls of daffodils that have bloomed

In fact, there is no need to throw it away. Narcissus itself is a perennial plant that can rely on bulbs to reproduce. Narcissus that has already bloomed can still use seed balls to continue to grow, reproduce and blossom. However, it should be noted that after continuous cultivation, it may not bloom in the second year, and it can bloom only after 2-4 years of maintenance

How to save the seed ball

Hydroponic seed ball preservation

After the daffodils in water culture have withered, you can take out the seed ball, cut off the dead leaves and residual flowers from the base, and then put the seed ball in a ventilated and cool place to dry, and then store it in a dry place. In September, the seed ball of Narcissus can be taken out and replanted

Choose a sunny place and bury the planting ball in fertile and loose soil. Be sure to plant it deeper, put enough base fertilizer and water it often. After the new leaves grow, apply fertilizer 1 or 2 times

With the growth of bulbs, new bulbs have grown. They can be moved outdoors in spring and need proper shade. The next year, the same is true. Dig up the seed ball in summer and replant it in autumn. After 3 or 4 years of cultivation, you will have the opportunity to bloom again

Soil culture ball preservation

The local daffodils are usually ground or potted. Cut off the dead leaves and residual flowers of the withered daffodils, which can be maintained in the same way as the daffodils. After 2 to 3 years of maintenance, they can also bloom again
