1. Select a narcissus bulb. The main ball should be big and firm, with deep bottom, dry purple skin and few side buds, and the daffodils should be one.
2. Remove the dark skin of the flower ball before going.
3. First, peel off the scales on the top of the ball by hand. If the upper flower head is small, it should be moved above the root disk 1.5 (to avoid competing for the nutrition of the main flower). Use a special narcissus carving knife (if you can't use a fruit knife, paper cutter, etc. ) cut at CM, and then cut a knife down from the top of the main ball to take out the fake light bulb.
4. Remove the pseudobulb between the flower buds with a knife. Be careful not to hurt calyx and bud. Carve carefully around the stem until the bright yellow stem just appears.
5. Cut the leaves. Hold up the bud column to be cut with the middle finger, index finger or ring finger of the left hand, which will help the leaf layer to unfold and peel off the edge of the leaf with a knife.
6. Needle or pierce the upper third of calyx with a toothpick, or cut the surface with a knife. The purpose is to bend the calyx.
7. Trim stems and growing points to prevent them from being too long.
Matters needing attention
After carving, put the carved side down into the water, wash its mucus with water for three days every day, and then put the carved side up into the culture pot. For maintenance, move into the room at night, drain the water, and add clean water to dry the next day.
Losing a lot of nutrients after carving will stimulate daffodils to bloom ahead of time. If the temperature is moderate, it will take about a month. If it continues to rain and snow, the weather will be delayed. In the maintenance process, it should be trimmed or taught according to the modeling requirements.
Extended data
Note: Narcissus contains lycorine which is toxic to human body. The juice of flowers and leaves will make the skin red and swollen. Narcissus bulbs contain Latin toxic substances, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, cold hands and feet, shock and even death due to central anesthesia.
Temperature, light and water supply are the three elements of narcissus hydroponics in winter. Narcissus needs plenty of sunshine to grow; The suitable temperature is 65438 02℃-65438 05℃; Clean water.
Before hydroponics, peel off the dry brown scales on the outer layer of bulbs, remove the root protection mud and brown rotten roots at the base (be careful not to touch the new white roots), wash the surface, stand upright in a shallow basin without drainage holes, and fix them with pebbles around to prevent dumping. Add clean water to 2/3 of the bulb. When you first come to the basin, you should change the cold and dry tap water once a day, 2-3 days before flowering.
Control flowering time. Under the condition of abundant sunshine and clean water supply, it takes about 40 days for daffodils to soak and bloom when the indoor temperature is 12℃- 15℃. Room temperature is about 18℃, which takes about 30 days. At room temperature of 20℃, it only takes 25 days to blossom; Therefore, the soaking date of narcissus balls can be determined as needed, and the fragrant and beautiful narcissus can be enjoyed in time.
Narcissus doesn't need any flower fertilizer, just water. In order to make narcissus grow strong, it should be taken to the balcony to bask in the sun during the day. If you want to postpone the flowering period, you can take the method of lowering the water temperature, or take the method of pouring water in the basin at night and adding fresh water the next morning. In addition, if you can't see the full flower buds before the festival 10, you can use water heating to promote the flowers, and the water temperature should be close to the body temperature.
As long as you master the conditions of narcissus conservation, you can "open as you like"; Otherwise, it will be delayed, or even the long leaves will not bloom.
