watering

Large-cupped daffodils (Narcissus 'Monal') need to be watered once a week with about an inch of water. Watering can be done by either soaking the soil or applying a gentle stream of water at the base of the plant. Water early in the morning to avoid wet foliage that can cause rot and fungal diseases. During winter months, only water if the soil is dry. Otherwise, allow the soil to dry out between watering. Be sure to always water at the soil level and avoid wetting the foliage as this can prevent flowering.

sunlight

The large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Monal') thrives in full sun or partial shade. It enjoys periods of full sun, which should make up 6 to 8 hours of its daily exposure. However, it does benefit from some light shade during mid-afternoon, when the sun is harshest, to protect it from scorching or withering. It is best to plant the daffodil in spring when the weather is not too hot; in periods of extreme heat, it is advisable to provide partial shade to help the daffodil thrive.

pruning

Large-cupped daffodils need to be pruned after they have finished flowering and the foliage has started to yellow.This typically occurs in late May and early June.The pruning should be done quickly and effectively, removing the foliage, flower stems, scapes, and seed heads. This will help the plant to focus its energy on growth and regrowth.It is possible to prune these plants lightly during the season as well to keep them looking tidy and to remove any spent flowers before they begin to set seed.
