How to keep Narcissus Gigas.
Light
Narcissus gigas is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous plant native to open habitats, often found growing in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun conditions.
Temperature
Narcissus gigas can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be limited by different combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates with adequate rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy and rainy weather, as well as prolonged high temperatures, can increase the likelihood of Narcissus gigas dying. In winter, proper protection from cold can improve the plant's survival rate.
Fertilizer
Generally, one application of fertilizer in spring is enough for Narcissus gigas, although several feedings can maximize growth. Feed every month to every month and a half. Fertilization improves the leaves' appearance and function, helping maintain even color and a healthy texture. It also promotes root development and nutrient uptake for the plant's long-term health.
