Low

Pest & Disease Information

Daffodils are very resilient to diseases post-harvest.

Troubleshooting

Do not mix daffodil flowers with other flowers. Daffodil flowers emit a toxic substance when cut that is harmful to other flowers. Place daffodils in a separate bucket, away from other flowers. Some publications recommend hydrating Daffodils for 6 hours or more before mixing with other flowers. We have not confirmed this practice. Also, sometimes Daffodils do not open. This is mostly due to storing them for too long or to improper cropping.
