It is also known as daffodil, trumpet Narcissus and so on. It is a kind of Lycoris plant. It originated from France, England and other places near the Mediterranean, and was introduced into China in the late 19th century. However, it is not easy to cultivate flowering plants in many areas of our country, so it is usually cultivated after introducing bulbs from abroad. Water and fertilizer are indispensable factors to promote its growth. Let's introduce them in detail.

The requirement of this plant for water and fertilizer

First of all, it has certain requirements for water. If it is too short of water, its development will be poor, and the whole plant will be relatively small. However, it is also sensitive to water, so it should not be too wet, especially when the temperature is very high. In addition, it is a kind of fertilizer loving plant, especially in the vigorous period of its growth, in addition, there are also some needs when planting.

Specific methods

Watering: after planting, we need to thoroughly water it once. We must fully water it. Later, in the period of its rapid growth and development, we can't let it lack of water. In order to ensure enough water, we usually choose to water it once a week or so. However, it should be noted that it is also not allowed to accumulate water, and it is necessary to ensure that the water is discharged in a timely manner. After flowering, the amount and frequency of watering can be reduced gradually. By the time it's dormant, just keep it dry. In addition, we need to pay attention to the humidity of the air.

Fertilization: before planting, we should remove the substrate in advance. In general, we will choose the soil rich in organic matter and slightly acidic, and mix some nutrients in it, which will not only ensure the nutrient supply in the future, but also improve its survival rate. In the growing period, potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is applied every two weeks or so, and some fertilizers rich in n elements can also be used. It's similar to watering. When it enters the dormancy stage, it doesn't need to be applied any more
