How to Care for Potted Bridal Crown Daffodils

Monitor the sunlight exposure in the location where the daffodil pot is to ensure it receives full sun for approximately six hours per day. If needed, relocate the pot to a sunnier location.

Water the soil in the pot to keep it constantly moist but never soggy. This may require watering once per week or once every two to three days, depending on the humidity and temperature. Fill a gallon pitcher with water and add 1 tsp. of an iron supplement to it before watering the daffodils. The extra iron keeps the soil acidic, which daffodils require.

Mix up a liquid fertilizer solution that is high in potassium, such as 5-10-10. Add twice the amount of water instructed on the package to dilute it, and apply it once per week until the green stems turn yellow in the summer.

Monitor the Bridal Crown daffodils until they stop blooming. Continue caring for the green foliage, which the bulb uses to store up food for winter. Wait until six weeks after blooming ceases, then move the plant to a covered location, such as a garage, so that rain water does not wet the soil. Prune off the leaves once they turn completely brown, which is approximately six weeks after flowering.

Stop watering the plant and leave it in the covered area until fall. Place the pots back in a sunny location in the fall and resume watering throughout the winter. The Bridal Crown daffodils may rebloom in the spring. If you live in a cold climate with regular freezes, place the pot into a garage for winter and set it out in the spring once freezing ceases.
