- 1). Select bulbs that have plump skin and are not dried out. Bulbs that already have a daffodil sprout growing from them are fine to use, according to online resource Gardening Know How, but be sure not to harm the delicate sprout when handling the bulb.
- 2). Plant daffodil bulbs in the late fall, leaving about three weeks before the first frost to allow the bulbs to grow adequate roots before the ground freezes. This will give them plenty of time to form a root system so they are ready for bloom the following spring.
- 3). Dig a hole in moist, fertile soil about 6 inches deep in the ground or in a pot. If you are planting multiple daffodil bulbs outdoors, dig a trench, or make each of their holes 6 inches apart.
- 4). Place the bulb in the hole with the pointed end up and fill with soil.
- 5). Sprinkle bulb fertilizer over the soil and lightly mix it into the first few inches of soil.
- 6). Water the soil lightly to moisten it, but do not saturate it.
- 7). Place the pot in a sunny windowsill or partially shaded outdoor area. If you start them indoors to keep for the winter, they may be transplanted outside once the last frost of the season is over. Otherwise, they may stay in the pot indefinitely.
