VIDEO: Caring for daffodils in a pot

Daffodils - not very picky about location

Daffodils are extremely popular bulb flowers. The spring flowers also thrive indoors in almost all conditions. You hardly have to worry about the suitable location for a daffodil pot.

However, daffodils need regular watering during flowering. Especially in a sunny location or with dry heating air. If the earth dries out for days, the plant will wither in no time.
