watering

Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Ring of Fire') requires plenty of water during the spring and summer months. When the weather is warm and dry, water the plant about once every 2 to 3 weeks. During the cooler, wetter months, reduce watering to once every 4 to 6 weeks. Avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. Ensure that the soil drains well and only water when the soil is completely dry.

sunlight

Narcissus 'Ring of Fire' is a large-cupped daffodil species that thrives in full sun or partial shade. It should receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. In warmer climates where temperatures may rise to 80 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, it is best to provide some afternoon shade. To maintain healthy growth and optimal flower production, these can also be supplemented with some afternoon shade for the hottest parts of the day. If planted in partial shade, midday sun is still important for blooming. In cooler climates, full sun is recommended for this species.

pruning

Large-cupped daffodils, such as Narcissus 'Ring of Fire', can be pruned back after flowering. For this particular plant species, pruning should begin when the flowers have faded, usually around late spring/early summer. Cut the foliage down to about 10-15 cm above the ground. This will ensure that new foliage will remain healthy for the following season. By pruning after the flower has faded, you are also ensuring that the plant will have enough energy left to regrow for the following season.
