What Season Does the Narcissus Bloom and the Conditions for Blooming During the Spring Festival
This article provides a detailed explanation of the season when narcissus blooms and the conditions for blooming during the Spring Festival, including some green plant maintenance tips. The following is an introduction by our station's editor.
What Season Does the Narcissus Bloom and the Conditions for Blooming During the Spring Festival
Narcissus generally grows in autumn and blooms in winter, with the blooming period from January to February, which is around the Spring Festival. The blooming period is quite long, lasting about a month. Of course, proper maintenance can extend the blooming period to March. To make the blooming period longer, it's best to adjust the cultivation temperature to around 10-15°C. If the temperature is too high, the flowers will wilt prematurely. Although the flowers are small, their shape and color are very ornamental.
What Season Does the Narcissus Bloom
Narcissus is a cold-sensitive flower. Its natural growth cycle is planting in autumn, growing in winter, and blooming in spring, which means narcissus generally blooms from January to April. Temperature, light, water, or soil are necessary conditions for its growth.
Conditions for Narcissus to Bloom During the Spring Festival
To make narcissus bloom during the Spring Festival after being watered and maintained, refer to the following points:
1. Temperature
There are two shapes of narcissus: one is cut into a "pen holder style," and the other is carved into a "crab claw style." For both styles to bloom simultaneously during the Spring Festival, at a room temperature of about 12°C, the former usually takes around 60 days and the latter about 45 days.
The temperature required for narcissus to grow leaves and bloom is different, with the blooming temperature slightly higher, preferably between 12-20°C, and sufficient lighting is needed.
2. Light
After calculating the number of days until the Spring Festival and starting water cultivation, lighting should also be considered. Narcissus is a short-day plant, requiring about 10 hours of sunlight per day. In winter, the daylight hours generally meet its needs. If there is no lighting in the room, it will be difficult to grow narcissus well.
3. Water Cultivation
Narcissus is usually watered in a basin, and it is important to choose the depth of the basin appropriately. Place pebbles or coarse sand in the basin to hold down the bulbous roots.
The water depth should be about two-thirds of the bulb, not too deep or too shallow. Change the water every few days. For the "crab claw style" placed horizontally, a layer of cotton can be placed over the roots to prevent them from drying out due to lack of water.
4. Artificial Heating or Cooling
To ensure blooming during the Spring Festival, artificial heating or cooling methods can be used. For example, if the flower buds are growing slowly 10 days before the Spring Festival, you can cover the pot bottom with a plastic bag and place it in the sun to help raise the temperature and promote faster growth of the flower buds.
Conversely, if the flower buds are about to bloom prematurely 10 days before the Spring Festival, you can place them in a shaded, cool area and pour out the water from the pot at night to inhibit growth and delay blooming.
The comprehensive explanation provided above about the season when narcissus blooms and the conditions for blooming during the Spring Festival should help you.
