1. Soil: Narcissus likes loose and well structured soil, which can be made of permeable and fertile sandy loam.

2. Water: it has a high demand for water. During its growth, it needs to ensure sufficient water, and after its development and maturity, it needs to reduce water, because at this time, the metabolism is relatively weak, and according to the moisture level of the soil, it can even stop watering.

3. Fertilization: during the pregnancy, the nutrition will be almost completely consumed, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer properly during its growth.

4. Light: give it about 10 hours of light every day, especially during the growth period. In autumn and winter, you can put it outside to receive light.

2. Breeding methods

1. Sowing and propagation: put the prepared soil into the seedbed, then put the seed into the seedbed and cover it with a layer of sand, water it and cover it with white glass, then place it in the ventilation place, spray water once every two days, uncover the white glass after the seed germination, properly bask in the sun, wait for the seedlings to grow about two true leaves, and then plant them separately, and then take them out of the open ground for transplantation in Autumn..

2. Propagation by bulbs: sun the dug bulbs for 2 days or so, and then place them in the ventilation position. Large scale cultivation is generally carried out in the open seedbed, and the seedlings will emerge in about a month.

3. Common diseases and insect pests

1. Base rot: the bulb will appear brown rot, and even the whole bulb will become rotten. You can soak the bulb with carbendazim before planting.

2. Nematode disease: after the leaves and flower stems are damaged, there will be stripes, and the leaves will wither. You can dip formaldehyde into them to prevent this disease before planting.
