What to do with daffodils after they have finished flowering: next year's flowering depends on it
Caring for daffodils after flowering is not difficult.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh named 3 main actions that need to be performed during this period of time.
The first thing to do after flowering is to visit the flower bed with scissors to trim the flower stalks.
But you shouldn't touch the foliage of daffodils after flowering. The nutrients contained in the leaves, as the latter wither, move to the underground part of the plant - the bulb.
After this, you need to fertilize the flowerbed with daffodils. A complex fertilizer is suitable for this purpose.
You can dissolve the nutrient solution in water or work it dry into the top layer of soil and then water it thoroughly.
Remember: it is now that processes are taking place in the bulb that are responsible for what kind of flowering will be next year.
Therefore, make sure that the fertilizer contains components such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Finally, the final step that is taken when such a need arises is planting or replanting the plants.
