Why do my daffodils never bloom they have been in the ground for 4 years only the green appears?

Did you cut back the foliage before it's brown? I did that once %26amp; only got foliage the next year.

maybe you should water it or maybe it needs to be put in the sun
Reply:because they are planted to close to gether dig them up and seperate them throwing away the smaller bulbs and replant the bigger ones
Reply:Most bulbs, including daffodils, only flower when they reach a certain size. Your daffs have been busily increasing themselves underground and if the bulbs are now too close together they will not be able to reach flowering size. This year, after the no flowers just leaves bit, let the leaves start dying back then lift a whole clump and separate the bulbs before replanting them, giving more space to each bulb. You can lift them and let them dry off in the shed and plant them out in the autumn if you prefer. Somehow you need to give the bulbs individual space.



Trust this helps
Reply:Not enough organic matter/fertilizer. Or, if you live somewhere very warm, then it is not getting a long enough or cold enough vernalization period (winter time). Daffodils will only bloom after a 8-12 week cold period (at least 40 degrees or colder) Also, never cut off the foliage until is has gone brown because that foliage is making food to be stored in the bulb for next year.
Reply:I'm guessing that the bulbs that you first planted were potentially small and didn't contain flower buds on the inside - they create the bud inside the bulb in the previous year: so if they started blind, they were not fully fit for sale for immediate flowering.



Daffodils do benefit from being split up every couple of years, otherwise they get a bit overcrowded, as they typically multiply quite readily. If they're crammed into an ever decreasing space, this makes it hard for the bulbs to reach flowering size, and also get the water and nutrients that they require to do this, due to competition. Also, ensure that there isn't competition from nearby trees etc.



Having chosen your location, if you need to move them, you can dig them up after they've died down this year, and store them safely until replanting in late August. They will root from this point, if the soil is cool and moist. You can add some bone meal to the planting area, which will help provide them with a slow release fertilizer.



This year feed and water your plants, before they die down, in order to let them strengthen their reserves and, fingers crossed, create some flower buds inside, ready for next year.



Some varieties are stronger than others, and it might pay to get a different variety - of large sized bulbs - this autumn. This way you should be more ensured of getting flowers next spring, if the ones you split up this year don't manage to flower alongside them.



Hope these thoughts help.
Reply:Growing blind - usually this is caused by a lack of nutrients in the soil - too late for this batch now but dig in lots of manure and plant fresh bulbs ready for next spring.
Reply:Daffodils need lots of sunshine - move them to a sunnier spot.
Reply:Slugs?

Not enough poop?

Shy?
Reply:You might have buried them too deep. Let the foliage go brown this season, then bury them the recommended depth (measure the depth) and cover with a rich but light weight soil, with some nice peat added in. If that doesn't work, dig them up and inspect the bulbs, and possibly separate if they are overgrown, then replant.
Reply:Check the size of your bulbs, this can also make a difference and tulips are the same way.
Reply:are they in the shade if so its fine to dig up and plant in a better spot
Reply:because they are blind ( i think thats the true saying)



dig them up and plant new ones.
