Exposure Hymenocallis narcissifloraPosizione mezza ombra
If you desire cleaning the ground from the bulbous plants after flowering, wait for the leaves to dry; later it’s possible to take the bulbs out of the ground and place them somewhere dark, cool and dry, until the best season to plant them again. For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Hymenocallis narcissiflora in a partially shady place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.These plants can be brought outside only if there isn't any more danger of freezings. Usually they are moved to the garden, or terrace, during the months of April-May.

Fertilization Hymenocallis narcissiflora
Let’s use a slow release fertilizer, or manure, when planting, mixing the product to the ground; during the spring let’s mix, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer for bulbous plants to our irrigation water, starting from the moment in which the first flowers are withering.

The Hymenocallis narcissiflora has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are bulbeous. This plant in the summer assumes a white colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 60 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.

Watering Hymenocallis narcissifloraTenere asciutto
Let’s avoid watering the The Hymenocallis narcissiflora excessively, always leaving the soil dry for a few days between one watering and the other, therefore let’s irrigate the substratum deeply every 1-2 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water . We suggest not to exceed with the waterings: if the soil remains damp too long, it can favour the development of rotten in the bulbs.

Treatments Hymenocallis narcissiflora
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
