Timing and site preparation

Planting can be done from September to October. For the Delnasho narcissus, a sunny, but possibly shaded area is suitable. It does not tolerate cold winds. Therefore, the place where it grows must be protected from them. In this case, the flowering time will increase.

This plant does not like areas where groundwater is close to the ground.

These plants grow normally on sandy soil as well as on clay soil. However, the land must be prepared before planting. If daffodils did not grow here at all before, then you need to clear the ground of debris and weeds, tree roots and stones.

Since these plants like to have plenty of moisture, it is important that the area is well drained.If moisture can stagnate here, then you should not plant Delnasho daffodils.

The most suitable soil for growing these plants is loamy soil, whose pH should not exceed 7.

Preparation of planting material

Preparing the bulbs begins when the leaves begin to dry out. They need to be dug up and cleared of soil. After this, it is necessary to keep them in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. To prepare the latter, it is enough to use 3-4 crystals of the substance per liter of clean water.

After processing, the bulbs are dried until dry and stored for storage. They must be kept in a dry, well-ventilated area.

If you plan to plant the bulbs immediately, then you do not need to clear the soil and dry them.

First of all, inspect the planting material and remove damaged or rotten bulbs from it. It is recommended to use the largest bulbs for planting.

Landing technology

When planting, a hole 8-12 centimeters in size is made for it. The distance between nearby plants should be at least 15-20 centimeters. The rows are spaced 20-3 centimeters apart from each other. By spacing them closer together, the bulbs will become larger as the plant grows. If they are placed freely, they will grow and produce babies.

A month before planting, the soil needs to be dug up and fertilized. It can be done as follows: mix superphosphate, potassium salt and humus.

After placing the bulb in the hole, sprinkle it with earth and then level the soil over it. A layer of peat or humus is poured on top to mulch.

Subtleties of flower care

After the Delnasho daffodils have been planted, the plants need care.

Irrigation mode

During the spring, Delnasho daffodils require abundant watering. However, moderation must be observed.

Water should not be allowed to stagnate. In such a situation, the bulbs may begin to rot.

Watering is done after the soil has dried out from the previous one. When the plants finish blooming, there is no need to interrupt watering. At this time, the bulb accumulates nutrients.

Water for irrigation should not be ice-cold. To do this, it is recommended to use one that is at ambient temperature.

It is necessary to stop watering only when the leaves dry out.

Feeding and fertilizers

For normal growth, these plants need fertilizing, which contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Immediately after planting, throughout the year, daffodils mainly use the nutrients accumulated in the bulb to grow.

The first fertilizing is done when planting the bulbs in the ground. It must be applied along with watering. The fertilizer should contain potassium, phosphorus and sodium. These substances are important for normal plant growth.

When buds form, it is necessary to apply nitrogen-potassium fertilizers. In this case, it is enough to take 50 grams per square meter.

The third time fertilizer is applied at the beginning of flowering. In this case, nitroammophoska is suitable. After fertilizing, it is necessary to loosen the soil. It is recommended to apply fertilizer to moist soil.

Trimming

It is done when the leaves dry out. After this, pruning is performed. By winter, cover the roots with fallen leaves, wood ash or other materials to protect them from freezing in winter.

Diseases, pests and prevention against them
