Side ball propagation: Side balls may break away from the ball on their own in autumn. Prepare pot soil, and then transplant the side balls into it. Double-scale propagation: Choose to carry out it from April to September. First, cut off the scales and put them in a bag with vermiculite. Keep the temperature well, and small bulbs will grow in 2-3 months. Side bud propagation: Select small white buds from the detached scales and sow them in autumn. Tissue culture: Use culture medium to grow small bulbs.

1. Reproduction methods

1. Side-bulb propagation: Small balls will grow on both sides of the daffodil bulb, which are side-bulbs. Generally, it may break away from the sphere on its own in autumn. After the side balls are separated, you can prepare the potting soil, transplant the side balls, and do maintenance and management in the future.

2. Double-scale reproduction: This reproduction method does not have much time limit, and it is best to carry out it from April to September. This propagation method is a bit more complicated. You need to first store the bulbs in an environment of 4-10 degrees Celsius for about 4-8 hours, and then cut off the upper ends of the scales. Put the vermiculite and water into a plastic bag, then put the scales in it, seal it and place it in a dark place. Keep the temperature at about 20-28 degrees Celsius. Wait 2-3 months for small bulbs to grow.

3. Side bud reproduction: from the broken scales Pick out the small white shoots, prepare the seedbed, and sow and plant in the fall.

4. Tissue culture: This method is not suitable for home reproduction. It requires the use of culture medium to cultivate small bulbs.

2. Which method is more commonly used

The most commonly used method at home is side ball reproduction, and the survival rate is relatively high. If done properly, the survival rate can reach 100%. Although the survival rate of lateral bud propagation is also very high, it is relatively rarely used.
