Sideball propagation is the most commonly used method for Narcissus. The storage ball on both sides of the bulb, only the base is connected with the mother ball, so it is easy to separate itself from the mother ball. Generally, it is selected to separate it from the mother ball in autumn, and then it is planted separately, and the new ball will be produced in the next year.
Lateral buds are those that are wrapped inside the bulb.
In the process of ball root castration, it will leave the mother's body with the broken scales dug out, and then pick out the white buds, which will be sown on the seedbed in autumn, and a new ball will be produced the next year.
Double scale propagation refers to the use of the bulb disc with two scales as the propagation material. This method of propagation has a high ball forming rate and can be carried out in all seasons, with April to September as the best. There are many lateral buds in a bulb, some of which are obviously visible and some of which are relatively hidden. But it's usually two scales and one bud.
The specific operation is as follows:
First, put the bulb in the low temperature environment for about 4-8 weeks, and then cut the bulb into small plates at room temperature. Each piece retains two scales, and at the same time, cut the upper end of the scales, leaving 2cm as the propagation material. Prepare a plastic bag, put vermiculite with water content of 50% or sand with water content of 6%, then put the breeding materials in it, close the bag mouth and place in the dark place of 20-28 ℃. In about two or three months, small bulbs can grow.
This method is highly demanding, professional and not suitable for home operation.
