watering

Water by soaking the soil every 7-10 days until the water runs out from the bottom of the pot. Then allow the soil to dry out before wetting again. Make sure not to overwater as this can cause the bulbs to rot. Additionally, during hot weather when the plants are actively growing, you can water on a daily basis. To ensure that the bulbs do not dry out so quickly water with liquid fertilizer every month or 2.

sunlight

Miscellaneous daffodils (Narcissus 'Tete-a-Tete') thrive in full sun to partial shade, meaning they need 6 to 8 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day in order to grow and bloom properly. During the warmer months of the year (spring and summer), the plant prefers full sun, while during the colder and dark months of the year (fall and winter), it is okay to give the plant partial shade. It is important to note that during the summer months, intense midday heat can be harmful to this plant species, so it may be beneficial to give it partial shade during the heat of the day and direct sun the rest of the day.

pruning

Pruning miscellaneous daffodils (Narcissus 'Tete-a-Tete') should be done twice a year. First, in late autumn after the foliage has died back. Cut down all old flower stalks and foliage to prevent the spread of disease and reduce the risk of rotting. Second, after flowering in early summer. Cut back the flower stalks to a lower leaf, about 2 inches from the soil surface. This will encourage the plant to produce more flowers next year. Make sure to use sharp, clean pruners and if possible, sterilize them in between cuts.
