watering

Triandrus daffodils (Narcissus 'Lemon Drops') should be watered once a week when they are actively growing. Water the plants until the top inch or 2 of soil is moist, and then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. It is important to not over-water your plants as they can easily become water-logged and die. For best results, ensure your pots have adequate drainage holes, and water in the morning so that the foliage has a chance to dry off during the day.

sunlight

Triandrus daffodil (Narcissus 'Lemon Drops') grows best in full sun. This means it should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and blooming. In areas with high levels of air pollution, it is best to give this daffodil an area with filtered or dappled sunlight. Since this plant species thrives in cool to cold climates, it can tolerate cooler temperatures in the spring and summer, as long as it receives plenty of sunlight.

pruning

Triandrus daffodil (Narcissus 'Lemon Drops') should be pruned after flowering is finished in early to mid-spring, typically around May or June. Pruning should involve removing the spent flower stems. It is also important to cut back the foliage after flowering and to remove any foliage that is beginning to look yellow or brown. This will help to promote healthy growth of new foliage and blooms in the upcoming season.
