watering

The Tazetta Daffodil (Narcissus 'Martinette') should be watered about once or twice a week. The amount of water needed can vary depending on the time of year and the size and age of the plant. For established plants in the winter months, water only when the soil is dry. In the spring and summer, you may need to water more often, roughly once or twice a week, depending on your environment, in order to give the plant enough moisture to stay healthy. When watering, ensure that the soil is saturated and there are no dry spots, and that excess water can be drained away easily. Watering at the bottom of the plant and avoiding wetting the foliage helps prevent disease.

sunlight

Tazetta daffodil (Narcissus 'Martinette') plant species requires full sun during the daytime, approximately 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. The amazing spectacle of bright, beautiful daffodils will bestow its majestic presence to any garden it calls home. Tazetta daffodils will love to bask in the sun throughout the day during spring and summer months. Avoid shady spots and if possible, provide the plant with the warm sunshine it needs to thrive.

pruning

This is to be done by removing the faded flowers and pruning away any stems and foliage that have withered or died. After pruning, add a balanced fertilizer to the soil and water the plant thoroughly.
