watering
Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Juanita') should be watered on a regular basis throughout the growing season. Water deeply every 2 weeks when the soil is dry, and once every week during hot weather. In periods of extended dry weather, water once a week during the morning, but avoid wetting the foliage. Reduce watering frequency to once a month during winter and early spring months.
sunlight
Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Juanita') is a beautiful and hardy flowering plant. This plant requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day during the growing season for optimal growth. When the growing season ends and temperatures drop, the plant should be allowed to receive indirect sunlight, or should be placed in a sunny location for several hours each day. During the winter months, the plant should receive no more than 8 hours of bright, indirect sunlight daily. Too much sun can cause leaves to wilt and become discolored. Without adequate light, the plant will not bloom.
pruning
Large-cupped daffodils should be pruned after flowering, when the foliage has yellowed and the stem has started to die back. A light pruning is all that is required so that the stems are cut back just above the ground. Pruning back too far can reduce flower production in future seasons. It is important to note that the bulbs should not be disturbed, as this can cause damage to the root system and result in decreased flowering.
