Transplanting Mini Daffodils: Soil, Pot Size, and Care Tips

Repotting Store-Bought Mini Daffodils

Commercial growers use sand for drainage in small pots. Transplant into a well-drained potting mix—cactus mix works well. Ensure the pot has a drainage hole, especially in rainy climates.

Ongoing Care

• Fertilize now with liquid fertilizer before foliage dies back.
• Apply organic fertilizer annually to maintain bulb vigor.
• After 3+ years, divide bulbs in late summer and refresh soil.

Container Ideas

Plant bulbs in a large pot that will hold summer annuals; leave the pot outside over winter for spring bloom. Space bulbs a few inches apart. A typical small pot contains 3–5 bulbs.

Air Ferns

Air ferns are not plants—they are the dried skeletons of Sertularia, a coral relative. They never grow or need water. Available online at airfern.com or via search.
