Daffodils in the field usually do not need to be cast. They are only endangered if they have not been planted deep enough. Daffodils in the pot, however, should be watered regularly. On the one hand the earth should not dry out and on the other hand it should not be in the water.
Since daffodils do not like lime, lime-free water should be used to potted plants. Tap water is usually eliminated because it is too calcareous. For example, if your tap water is too calcareous at home, use distilled water that you also use for ironing.

How and when should you cut daffodils?
When the daffodil has withered, the flower stem is cut off. This prevents the narcissus from producing seeds. Seedling robs her of energy. The leaves are only removed when they are yellowed - if at all. It is better to let the leaves dry up and not to remove.
