When daffodils begin to grow (usually in the third year after planting), they should be replanted.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , this is necessary to preserve large buds and prevent plant diseases.
When and why to plant daffodils
It is recommended to replant daffodils after flowering, in summer or autumn, at least once every five years.
Keep in mind that it takes about a month for daffodils to root, so this should also be taken into account when choosing the time to plant daffodil bulbs.
During transplantation, bulb diseases can be detected and eliminated at an early stage.
How to plant daffodils
To replant daffodils and leave the bulbs undamaged, you will need to be careful when digging up the flowers along with the soil.
After this, separate the bulbs and place them in new holes.
If sick and weak plants are found, they should be disposed of - in this case, you can’t count on lush flowering anyway.
In a new area intended for growing daffodils, dig holes and prepare a soil mixture of old rotted manure, peat and sand mixed with a small amount of ash and superphosphate.
Place the daffodil bulb and soil into the hole and sprinkle with the resulting mixture, lightly compacting the soil around the plant.
After planting, water the daffodils thoroughly and fertilize them with liquid fertilizer.
