Narcissus cantabricus, commonly known as the white hoop petticoat daffodil, is a bulbous geophyte native to the Iberian Peninsula. It is part of the Amaryllidaceae family and is known for its delicate, white, funnel-shaped flowers. This plant prefers temperate climates and has a dormancy period during the summer months.
Narcissus cantabricus requires bright, direct light for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a temperate climate. The plant should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. It also benefits from moderate humidity levels.
土壌
This plant prefers well-draining loam soil. It is important to ensure that the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to bulb rot. A mix of loam with some sand can help improve drainage.
肥料
Narcissus cantabricus benefits from a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during its growing season, typically in the spring, to support healthy growth and flowering.
植え替え
Repot Narcissus cantabricus every 2-3 years or when the bulbs become crowded. Repotting is best done during the dormancy period in late summer. Carefully remove the bulbs, separate any offsets, and replant them in fresh, well-draining soil.
伝搬
Propagation of Narcissus cantabricus is typically done through bulb offsets. During the dormancy period, separate the offsets from the parent bulb and plant them in a new location. Ensure they are planted at the correct depth and in well-draining soil.
剪定
Pruning is not required for Narcissus cantabricus. However, you can remove spent flowers to encourage the plant to focus its energy on bulb development rather than seed production.
毒性
Narcissus cantabricus is toxic to pets and humans. All parts of the plant, especially the bulbs, contain toxic alkaloids that can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested. Handle with care and keep out of reach of pets and children.
