Burying bulbs: build a high ridge, put the narcissus bulbs in the soil, get them out after one month, cut off the fine roots, cut off the yellow leaves along the bottom, and then bury the bulbs, keeping the depth at 10 cm, and use the rotten fertilizer or feces, and then flatten them. Digging bulbs: watering and fertilizing bulbs to provide nutrients. In November and December, new bulbs will grow around the old forest, which can be dug out and maintained again.

1. Burying bulbs

Narcissus is a perennial plant, in fact, it is a bulb plant, if they are buried in the soil, they can continue to grow. The garden we choose should be leeward and facing the sun, and the soil should be deep. The next thing to do is to build higher ridges and put them in the soil, with the leaves on them to be preserved by itself. After one month, the leaves will be dry and dormant. At this time, get the bulb out of the soil, cut off its fine and broken roots, cut off the yellow leaves along the bottom, and then bury the bulb, keeping the depth at 10 cm, and use rotten fertilizer or feces, and then flatten it.

It's not easy to bury it, no matter what else, because it takes a long time in the soil, especially in summer and autumn, the temperature is relatively high, put it in, the leaves are not on it, if you don't water and fertilize it, it will lead to its death.

2. Dig bulbs

After burying it, its subsequent work is maintenance and management. In normal times, as long as we pay attention to providing rich nutrition and maintaining the water content of the soil, of course, we can't accumulate the water and the bulbs can grow well. In November and December, when we dig it out, we will find that the former bulbs have rotted and become empty, but there will be some around. After digging out the bulbs with larger buds, we clean the dirt. In addition to the soil on the surface, we put them in the sun for a few hours, and then draw a "cross" cut on them to keep their scales from being hurt, so that the buds and leaves can grow out. Then we put it in water for a day, clean the mucus from the incision, and then we can keep it. After 3 days, it can grow white fiber roots at the bottom, and will gradually germinate. And we don't have to deal with that small bulb urgently, let it stay in the soil for a year, and then in the second year, when it grows stronger and stronger, we can dig it out and breed it.
