Reproduction of Multi-coloured Daffodil.
- Daffodils are usually produced from the month March to April. The daffodil is usually clump-forming, but reproduction is primarily occurs through seed production, which is the sexual reproduction. (Reproduction)
- It is interesting that, daffodil can propagate both sexually and asexually.
- Daffodils also can propagate asexually, by stem bulblets, offset.
- Offsets are bulbs that are grown from bulblets. These are miniature bulbs produced on the stem of the daffodil.
- Also propagation of daffodil occur through the division of the basal section of the parent bulb. Scooping, scoring, sectioning and coring are the for methods to do this.
- The daffodil flower is the perfect meaning. It has all the standard parts of a flower and the plant is monoecious that carries both the sex organs.
- It is quite interesting that their fruit colour is green, the fruit's shape, cover and length are still unknown.
- Culture:
Light requirement: Plant grows in part shade/part Sun
Soil tolerances: Occasionally send, wet, acidic; loam; clay
Drought tolerance: High
Soil salt tolerances: Poor
Plant spacing: 6 to 12 inches - The flower consists of a dark yellow 'trumpet' (corona) enclosed by a ring of 3 sepals and 3 petals, which are a lighter yellow. The flowers are 60 mm long and the 'trumpet' and ring of petals are coarsely the same length.
- The leaves venation is parallel. All these proves that this plant is Monocot.
