How to prepare the ground for planting narcissus?
Plants are unpretentious in the choice of soil, but grow particularly well
on loam. Acidity should be 6.5-7.0. Bulbs contain
many nutrients, so the first year will be strong and in
sandy ground. Then the grower will notice that the flowers become smaller, and then
and stop growing at all. Moreover, such soils are poorly preserved
warm, with the slightest frost daffodils die.
If your soil is heavy and clayey, sand is added to it,
and in the sandy land, on the contrary, you need to fertilize with clay and
humus Three months before planting the bulbs need to make
compost, manure, then thoroughly dig the site. Neither
In no case do not add fresh manure to the ground shortly before
planting daffodils. The minimum period for this is a year. Make a
easy drainage, otherwise accumulated moisture will destroy the roots of the plant.

snowless winter. Shelter in the spring – remove as soon as possible, immediately
after the snow melt.
If on the site hosted a mole or a bear, plant bulbs
on the inside of a cut off plastic bottle on both sides, for less than 2
liters volume.
By the way, moles do not like daffodils and often leave the site,
densely planted with these flowers.
Proper care for daffodils: fertilize
Since most plants begin to bloom in the spring,
landing is held in the fall. At the same time it is necessary to fertilize daffodils.
To feed the soil add organic matter: humus. Spring watered
readily soluble in water fertilizers. They have to
contain phosphorus, sodium, potassium and nitrogen.
The same elements are introduced in the period when the plant is gaining
buds. And the last time – after flowering. Fertilizers in this
period will help the bulbs accumulate nutrients to
survive the winter well. A good way to give strength to the plant: make
liquid feeding. For this, potassium sulfate and superphosphate are mixed in
ratio of 1: 2. On 1 square. meter must be taken 60 grams of fertilizer.
This is valid indeed if the soil is not fertile. For the land,
rich in humus, the concentration can be reduced by half.
Abundant watering – the basis of the care of daffodils
If you want to grow plants with large and beautiful
flowers, you should pay special attention to watering. Daffodils love
moisture, but the excess must be disposed of with the help of drains and drainage.

Dates of digging daffodils
Replanting plants every year is not necessary. Optimal

Since daffodils do not have a clearly defined state of rest, their

Daffodil Care: Diseases and Pests
All plants are affected by various microorganisms.
In addition, they also get sick. Consider the most common
diseases, we study pests and measures to combat them.
• Fusarium often get narcissus.

darkening of the roots. If the bulbs are deposited, you can
discover that many of them rot. Of course, all patients
plants are thrown away. Before each planting bulbs for 8 hours
placed in 1% formalin solution or sprayed with special
means “Maxim”.
• Gray rot damages not only berries, but also
bulbous plants, including daffodils. Stains
light brown leaves cover, then the disease passes
on the stem to the roots. As a result, the flower dies. To prevent this
happened, during the growing season spend spraying 1%
Bordeaux fluid solution. When the bulbs are dug, they need
process with sulfur.
• Specifically bulbous flowers are under attack
sclerotinia tulip. Symptom: cotton-like white
mycelium formed on the bulb. Such a plant needs to be thrown out, and
best burned. Prevention: a month before planting spend
soil treatment with carbonation (3%). The bulbs themselves are pickled in
weak formalin solution.
• Bacterial scab. Especially often the disease
breeds on wet soils and where much lime is applied. AT
the growing season on the leaves you can see spots
