How to care for Daffodil

Difficulty

Caring for Daffodil is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Water

Daffodil should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Daffodil loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Daffodil prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Toxicity

Daffodil is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Growth-pattern

Clumping is a defining characteristic of the Daffodil, with new growth appearing from the soil surrounding the primary plant.

Region of origin

Daffodil’s native range is Europe - Mediterranean.
