What does a dandelion feed on?
Asked by Wiki User
The number one thing a daffodil needs to survive is sun, sun and more sun. It needs at least 6 hours of sun per day to produce the flower, maintain the plant tissues and store energy in the bulb for the next year's growth and flower.
The second thing is not too much water. Daffodils like an area that is well drained. Soggy feet cause rot and will kill the plant and bulb.
Thirdly the plant needs moderate nutrients, and naturally occuring organic soil (mulched and earthworm friendly) will produce better daffodils than chemical formulations in a bag.
