watering

Jonquilla Daffodil (Narcissus 'Chit Chat') should be watered thoroughly and deeply once a week to keep the soil evenly moist. Make sure the soil gets slightly dry between watering to allow for optimal drainage, and avoid over-watering. During the cooler months, water only when the soil is dry, and if the plant is in a container, add extra drainage holes to ensure that the soil can properly drain.

sunlight

Jonquilla daffodils (Narcissus 'Chit Chat') thrive in full sunlight and need at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. To ensure healthy growth, it is best to exposed them to the sun's direct rays for around 4 to 5 hours in the morning and 1 to 2 hours in the afternoon. While they can tolerate partial shade, they may not flower as well in such conditions.

pruning

The best time to prune your Jonquilla Daffodil (Narcissus 'Chit Chat') is when the flower petals have all wilted and died. Take away all the flower heads, cutting back to just below the seed pod at the base. This will help the plant to store energy, remain healthy, and flower again next season. Be careful not to cut back the foliage as it will stop the flower from blooming the following year. For regular pruning, cut back any foliage close to the ground at the end of the growing season in the fall. This will ensure the plant remains healthy and vigorous through the winter months. Do not prune too much as this may harm the plant.
