Are your daffodils planted somewhere where they can get at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight during the day?
Are your daffodils planted in a neutral to slightly acidic soil?
Are your daffodils planted in a well-drained soil?
Are you watering your daffodils well during spring and fall?
Do you keep soil drier during the summer?
Have you been deadheading (pruning off flowers as they fade) your daffodils?
Have you been providing your daffodils with a handful of bulb fertilizer in early spring?
Have you been dividing your daffodils every three to five years?
Take better care of your daffodils. Move your daffodils somewhere where they can get full sun to partial shade. Daffodils bloom best in full sun, but a little dappled spring shade should not affect them greatly.
Take better care of your daffodils. Daffodil plants prefer a neutral to slightly acidic soil pH of 6.0 to 7.0.
Take better care of your daffodils. As with most bulbs, daffodils require excellent drainage or they will rot. Since daffodils can survive for years, you will want to find a spot where they do not have to sit in waterlogged soil.
Take better care of your daffodils. Daffodils like to be watered regularly in the spring and fall. If there is no snow cover, the corms will also need water throughout the winter. Stop watering about 3 to 4 weeks after the flowers fade.
Take better care of your daffodils. Daffodils go dormant during the summer and prefer a drier soil.
Take better care of your daffodils. Remove daffodil blooms as soon as they fade; otherwise, the bulbs will exert considerable energy attempting to create seeds. However, remove only the bloom and stem, not the leaves. This is the critical aspect of daffodil care after they bloom.
Take better care of your daffodils. Provide a handful of bulb fertilizer or any general-purpose fertilizer when shoots poke through the ground in early spring. Be sure to fertilize the soil around the daffodil plant, but keep the fertilizer off the foliage.
Good job! You are taking good care of your daffodils.
Daffodils need to be divided every three to five years, or whenever you notice that flowers are smaller in size or number. Divide the plant when the foliage is dying but still visible so you can see where to dig.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
