Daffodils
Daffodils are hardy spring-blooming flowers and very easy to grow. White and yellow varieties need almost the same care.
डैफोडिल (Narcissus) एक सुंदर वसंत ऋतु में खिलने वाला फूल है। इसके सफेद और पीले फूल ताजगी, आशा और नई शुरुआत का प्रतीक माने जाते हैं। यह पौधा कम देखभाल में भी अच्छी तरह उग जाता है और हर साल अपने आकर्षक फूलों से बगीचे की शोभा बढ़ाता है
Planting:
Plant daffodil bulbs in autumn, about 4–6 inches deep, with the pointed side facing up. Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
Soil:
Loose, fertile soil works best. Avoid waterlogged areas, as bulbs may rot in standing water.
Watering:
Water well after planting. During growth and flowering, keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy. Reduce watering once the leaves start turning yellow.
Sunlight:
Daffodils bloom best in sunlight. At least 4–6 hours of sun daily helps produce strong stems and bright flowers.
After Bloom Care:
Do not cut the green leaves immediately after flowering. Let them dry naturally so the bulb can store energy for next year’s blooms.
Fertilizer:
A light dose of balanced fertilizer or compost in early spring supports healthy growth and better flowers.
Pests & Safety:
Daffodils are naturally pest-resistant and usually ignored by animals. Note that bulbs are toxic, so keep them away from pets and children.
