Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Containers
• Miracle grow dirt
• Standard daffodil bulbs
• Water
• Fertilizer

1. Choose daffodil bulbs that are green yet have no blooms.

2. Plant your daffodil bulb plants in the early spring.

3. Add several handfuls of fertilizer to the bottom of the container in which you are growing the plant.

4. Make sure that your bulbs never make contact with fertilizer. Keep them in separate places, doing the fertilizer first, keeping the bulbs a safe distance away as the fertilizer can damage the bulbs if it comes into direct contact with them.

5. Fill the container one third of the way up with dirt.

6. Place one bulb inside the center of the pot full of dirt. One bulb per gallon is the standard amount needed in one pot.

7. Fill the pot to the top with Miracle Gro Dirt.

8. Water the daffodil bulbs every day for the first week of planting. After this, only water when there are dry spots.

9. If a daffodil dies inside the pot, don't plant other daffodils in the same pot.

10. Place the daffodil container in a sunny location.
