watering

Triandrus daffodil (Narcissus 'Petrel') is a hardy, drought-tolerant plant. To maintain optimum health, it is recommended to water this species weekly, applying a generous amount of water. In the warmer months, when the temperatures rise, more frequent watering may be necessary. You should also provide extra water when the temperatures exceed normal levels, and during times of drought. In colder months, it can sometimes be beneficial to reduce the frequency of watering. However, avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely. The ideal soil moisture level should remain slightly moist but not water-logged. If the soil remains too moist for extended periods of time, it can lead to root-rot. Generally, a garden spinkler or soaker hose provides the most effective results.

sunlight

Triandrus daffodil (Narcissus 'Petrel') is best grown in a location that provides ample amount of sun. Plant your daffodil bulbs in full sun for most of the growing season, from late winter until late spring. During the warmer months of summer, providing some light shade can help protect your daffodil bulbs from receiving too much sunlight. Try to ensure that your daffodil bulbs receive at least 6 hours of sun daily to promote healthy blooming and foliage growth.

pruning

The Triandrus Daffodil (Narcissus 'Petrel') should be pruned soon after it has finished flowering. This is typically when the foliage has turned yellow or brown. To prune, cut back the foliage to the base of the bulb, ensuring to wear gloves when handling the foliage as it may contain sap that can cause skin irritation. When pruning, avoid cutting into the stems of the daffodil, as this can cause damage to the bulb. Pruning daffodils is not a difficult task, but it should not be done too much. Ideally, you should only prune the foliage once a year.
