Does narcissus add a lot of vitality to the home during the Spring Festival? But as soon as the flowering period ends, many people directly throw away the narcissus, which is a pity! In fact, as long as it is properly handled, the narcissus can bloom again next year! Today, I will share with you how to deal with narcissus after it has finished blooming.

**Step 1: Pruning after flowering**

When the narcissus flowers begin to wither, first cut off the withered flowers to avoid excessive nutrient consumption. When cutting, start from the base of the flower stem and use a sharp pair of scissors to cut it off neatly. Be gentle and don't damage the adjacent leaves and bulbs.

**Step 2: Continue to care for the leaves**

Some people may think that the leaves are no longer valuable after the flowers wither, but this is not the case. The leaves of narcissus are like miniature green factories, constantly accumulating nutrients for the bulbs through photosynthesis. Therefore, after the flowers fade, we still need to take care of the leaves as before, ensuring that they receive sufficient light and water. Place the narcissus in a place with soft and bright light, avoiding direct sunlight. Water the soil when it is slightly dry to keep it slightly moist.

**Step 3: Transfer to soil cultivation**

When the leaves wither naturally, the narcissus enters a dormant stage. This is the perfect time to transplant it into the soil! Gently take out the narcissus from the water, remove the mucus and decayed roots attached to the roots, and then plant it in loose, fertile soil with good drainage. When planting, note that one - third of the bulb should be exposed above the soil surface to facilitate its smooth breathing and growth.

**Step 4: Dormancy - period care**

After being planted in the soil, the narcissus has entered the dormant period. At this time, reduce the frequency of watering and keep the soil slightly dry. Place it in a cool and ventilated corner, and maintain the room temperature between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius. Avoid disturbing it frequently and let the narcissus rest well to reserve sufficient energy.

**Step 5: Wake up growth**

When autumn arrives and the weather cools down, the dormant period of the narcissus ends. You can gradually increase the amount of watering and move it to a place with sufficient sunlight to bring it back to life. During this period, you can appropriately apply a thin liquid fertilizer to promote its germination and growth.

By following this method, the narcissus can bloom every year and become a "permanent guest" at home! Not only can you save money on buying flowers, but you can also enjoy the fun of growing flowers.
