💧 Watering

Keep soil moderately moist during active growth. Avoid waterlogging and reduce watering as the foliage dies back.

☀️ Light & Position

Choose sun or light shade. A sheltered spot helps protect the double flowers from strong winds.

🌿 Feeding

For container-grown bulbs, apply a potassium-rich liquid feed after flowering while leaves remain green, following the label instructions.

🍃 After Flowering

Remove faded flowers and allow foliage to die back naturally. The leaves replenish the bulbs for future growth.

🇲🇹 Local Growing Tips

Check patio pots during dry spring weather. Light afternoon shade can help on hot terraces. Keep dormant bulbs well drained during summer; repeat flowering may vary with Malta’s mild winters.

🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Narcissus is toxic to dogs and cats if eaten, especially the bulbs. Keep plants and loose bulbs out of pets’ reach.
