Some More Daffodil Bulb Problems

There are so many common reason that your daffodils may not be blooming that it is quite unfortunate. So I'll have a few posts on some of the reasons why your daffodil bulbs may be having trouble blooming. So, another reason why you may be experiencing problems is that the leaves may have been cut and trimmed off to early the year before. Daffodils seed and prepare themselves for the next year up to six weeks after they've stopped flowering. If the leaves were cut off before then, then you're lessening your chances of getting a good bloom the next year. This means that you should keep watering your daffodils until the leaves start to turn green to a sickly yellow. Only then are you cleared to snip off the little buggers.

If you've transported your daffodil bulbs anytime, you have noticed that they may have trouble blooming. That's because many species of daffodils tend to skip a year of flowering after a transplant. This is may be because they are having trouble adapting to the new environment, or else the soil is slightly different. Either way, just tough it out and the daffodils should bloom the next year. One of the worst problems a daffodil bulb can have is that it has a virus. You'll know if you plant has a virus if it starts to lose its vigor and the leaves look weak and wilting. If this be the case, the only thing you can do is dig up and throw away the infected daffodil bulbs. If you don't, the virus may spread to the health ones.
