watering
Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Tracey') needs to be watered regularly when the soil is dry to the touch. The amount of water depends on the season; it should be watered more often in summer and less in winter. During the growing season, water your plant once a week and ensure the soil is evenly moist. During the dormant period, water every 2-3 weeks only. Avoid over-watering as this can damage the roots. During hot and dry summers, water more often if necessary or try setting up a drip irrigation system.
sunlight
Cyclamineus Daffodil (Narcissus 'Tracey') does best in full sun, meaning 8-12 hours per day. It should be grown in direct sunlight during the peak blooming season, but in hotter climates, partial shade may be necessary. To ensure maximum flowering, expose the plant to direct sunlight during the hours between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the spring and summer months. Full sunlight will also help the plant mature more rapidly. Too much shade, however, may lead to poor flower production and unhealthy growth.
pruning
Cyclamineus daffodils (Narcissus 'Tracey') are 1 of the most popular spring-flowering bulbs. They are easy to care for and require little pruning to maintain their neat, mounded shape. Pruning should be done when the foliage dies back after flowering, usually in late spring or early summer. Start by removing any dead leaves or stems. Then use bypass pruners to gently cut away at the foliage, cutting any stems that are longer than the desired shape. Cut each stem back to the point where it joins the base of the foliage mass. With regular pruning, your Cyclamineus daffodil will remain healthy and beautiful for years to come.
