watering

The Large-cupped Daffodil (Narcissus 'Pink Charm') should be watered twice a week in the spring and fall when it is actively growing, and about every 2 weeks during the summer to keep the soil moist. During the summer months, water deeply if rainfall is scarce. The soil should be damp, but never soggy or waterlogged. Be sure to allow the soil to dry between waterings. In winter, water only when the soil is dry to avoid any root rot.

sunlight

Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Pink Charm') grows the best in full sun or only slight shade with 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. It is best to provide morning sunlight and afternoon shade, though, since the intense afternoon sunlight can sometimes cause harm to the leaves. The daffodil grows best in well-draining soil and fertilizer should be applied when the plant is actively growing, typically in early spring, to encourage blooms.

pruning

Large-cupped Daffodils (Narcissus 'Pink Charm') should be pruned once a year in the fall after the foliage has died back. Pruning should involve cutting back the old foliage and dead stems to the base of the plant. It is also a good idea to trim off any weak or dead stems so the foliage and flowers do not become overcrowded. Pruning helps to ensure that the plant has enough room to grow and also prevents the plant from becoming too tall or lanky. Additionally, pruning can help to promote bigger and better blooms.
