Water: Narcissus obsoletus requires minimal watering, ideally once post-planting, unless conditions are very dry. Potted narcissus obsoletus needs more frequent watering during growth and flowering. Avoid watering during summer dormancy to prevent bulb rot, and resume when the soil is dry in autumn and winter.

Fertilize: Narcissus obsoletus requires minimal fertilizer. Mix bulb food or bone meal into the soil in fall. Use water-soluble fertilizers during leaf growth and pre-flowering in spring, with a 5-10-10 or 0-10-10 ratio. Top dress with potassium fertilizer post-flowering for bulb rejuvenation.

Pruning: Pruning narcissus obsoletus in early spring enhances growth by removing dead leaves and spent flowers, promotes vigorous blooms, prevents overcrowding, and improves air circulation. This practice aligns with its growth cycle, vital for maintaining plant health and reducing disease risks.

Propagation: Narcissus obsoletus is best propagated using healthy, disease-free tubers. Plant them in well-draining soil, ensuring careful handling to prevent damage. Providing suitable care during this phase is essential for fostering strong growth and establishing robust new specimens of narcissus obsoletus.
