watering

The Cyclamineus Daffodil (Narcissus 'Little Princess') should be watered weekly during the growing season if there is less than 1 inch of rain per week. The best way to water it is to give it a deep watering that allows the water to soak into the soil, instead of just wetting the surface. During the growing season, the Cyclamineus Daffodil should be watered until the water just begins to drip from the bottom of the container. During the winter and dormant period, watering should be reduced. The soil should be kept slightly moist, but not saturated.

sunlight

Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Little Princess') thrives with 8 to 9 hours of sun per day. However, it will also do well in partial shade, particularly during the hottest parts of the day. The best time of day for Little Princess is morning sun, as it is less intense and provides the light they need to grow. Morning sun exposure provides daffodils with the energy they need to flower and produce lovely blooms in the spring.

pruning

Cyclamineus daffodils, also known as Narcissus 'Little Princess', are a type of spring-flowering bulb. They can be pruned once the foliage starts to wilt, around 2-3 months after flowering has ended. Pruning should be completed a few weeks before the bulbs start to come out of dormancy and begin to grow. Generally, pruning should be done in the late fall or early winter, when the foliage has turned yellow and the temperature drops to a few degrees above freezing. When pruning, cut back the foliage as close to the ground as possible, without harming the bulbs. After pruning, you can also remove any dead or damaged foliage.
