Why should narcissus be carved in cultivation?

The cultivation of narcissus needs carving to achieve artistic modeling.

The purpose of narcissus modeling is to dwarf, bend, orient and model the leaves and flowers of narcissus by knife carving or other means, so that the roots can grow vertically or horizontally, and the bulbs or side bulbs can be maintained and fixed according to the modeling requirements. Narcissus sculpture is mainly about the carving of flowers and leaves, so that flowers and leaves can achieve the purpose of artistic modeling.

It is mainly realized by mechanical damage of carving, sunlight irradiation and moisture control. When carving, one side or one side organ is damaged. In the process of healing, the growth rate of the injured side or one side slows down, and the uninjured side grows normally, that is, the growth rate is faster. In this way, the leaves or pedicels are long, that is, bent to the injured side or side.

Extended data:

Narcissus modeling mainly destroys the development of cell tissue through carving, resulting in uneven growth, normal growth of uninjured parts, stopping or slow growth of injured parts, thus bending and twisting leaves and flower branches, and achieving the purpose of dwarfing and directional growth.

Carving narcissus bulb is a traditional art in China. There are many kinds of artistic carving narcissus, and the most basic one is crab claw narcissus. Carving crab claw narcissus should go through seven processes: peeling, opening the cover, thinning, peeling buds, cutting leaves, scraping stems and trimming.
