Landing

Enarcissus bloomsDaffodils are perennial plants. They tolerate shade well, but love light very much... These flowers are unpretentious and do not take much time and effort to plant. Flowers grow well in normal garden soil at moderate humidity. The most suitable place for planting is loamy soils with medium shade. A month before planting, sand, peat and fertilizers must be added to the soil.

The best time for planting is the end of September. This allows the bulbs to take root before the first frost. If this is a bulb from grown daffodils, then you need to dig up the bulbs, separate the children from them and plant immediately. Also, the plant can be grown and at home in a pot... Before planting, it is necessary to treat the bulb with a disinfecting solution. Nutritious and light soil is added to the pot. The best temperature for flower growth is 20 degrees.The daffodil does not need a transplant for several years; it is recommended to grow it in one place for 6 seasons.

The area where the daffodils will land for the first time must be dug up in June 30-35 cm deep. At the same time, humus is added to the soil, and 15-20 before planting the bulbs, the soil is fertilized with superphosphate and potassium salt.

Daffodil bulbs planted 12-15 cm deep... This depth provides uniform moisture and protects the bulb from overheating and freezing.

The bulbs are dug out 2 months after flowering ends. When the bush begins to decay, the leaves will fall and their tips will turn yellow. This period usually falls in July. If the bulbs are not dug out in time, then the leaves will die off and it will be difficult to determine their exact location, which is fraught with damage to the bulbs themselves. The bulbs must be dried and ventilated, then the children can be easily separated. Picture
