Care Instructions
Narcissus triandrus prefers moderate temperatures and bright, indirect light. It should be watered when the soil partially dries out, and it thrives in environments with moderate humidity. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, making it versatile for various settings.Soil
The plant prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent bulb rot, so a soil mix that includes sand or perlite can be beneficial.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10 is ideal. Fertilize the plant during its growing season, typically in the spring, to encourage healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot Narcissus triandrus bulbs every 2-3 years, preferably in the fall. Carefully remove the bulbs from the old soil, check for any signs of disease, and plant them in fresh, well-draining soil.Propagation
Propagate by separating offsets from the parent bulb during the dormancy period. Plant the offsets in well-draining soil and water sparingly until new growth appears.Pruning
Pruning is not generally required for Narcissus triandrus. However, you can remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.Toxicity
Narcissus triandrus is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain toxic compounds, with the bulbs being the most poisonous. Symptoms of ingestion include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
