How to Care for a Chinese Narcissus After a Bloom

One of the most fragrant flowers you can grow, the Chinese narcissus plant is easy to care for both before and after blooming. Also known as the paperwhite narcissus, it belongs to the daffodil family and produces white and yellow flowers. The Chinese narcissus grows from a bulb that contains all of the nutrients it needs to grow. No soil is needed, which is why many people grow the plants indoors in vases filled with rocks and water. Once the flowers have bloomed, proper care will ensure the blooms last as long as possible.
