Drying daffodil bulbs in preparation for replanting in autumn/winter

[Notyetthere]

How dry dry do the bulbs need to be? I have fished them out of the pots and taken off as much mud/compost as possible. I have laid them out flat in a couple of amazon boxes open for now and are in the garage. I know they need air circulation but how how dry do they need to be?

Do I need to split the ones that are double and triple bulbs?

I planted to plant them out in the front lawn in the autumn/winter.

I leave mine in the ground/pots. Is there a reason to lift them and replant? Or is it just if you want to move them to somewhere else

Sorry, no help at all OP!

I wanted to use the pots for something else but also there is a patch of lawn at the front of our house that would look great with spring flowers.

I just leave mine in the pots and over plant with annuals or perennials.

when they die back in the autumn the daffodils come through in the spring

I’ve lifted tulips this year. I imagine daffs are similar! I did research for tulips though.

I’ve dried mine completely, but that was easy in the heat last month!. I took off all remaining stalks/foliage/roots. They are stored in flat open boxes at the moment. But the advice I read said mesh bags or paper bags would be ok too. Need air flow. I also saw after I did most of the work that I should only really bother with the bogger bulbs. Small ones are unlikely to flower.

I haven’t split bulbs, but I imagine there’s no harm in doing that. Obviously if you’d left them in the ground they would have divided anyway.

The bulbs need to be plump and not shrivelled, so keep them somewhere cool and shady. Periodically check for mould. I wouldn’t split the bulbs as you can damage the basal plate ( big where the roots grow from) and then they won’t grow.
