Hey everyone. Is this really a Daffodil? This app suggest...

#Daffodil
1ft to light, direct
8” pot without drainage
Last watered 1 month ago
Hey there! @ChiefRedash53 I’m not sure what it is actually, can anyone identify this ?? @stephonicle @elisenavidad @TheOddAsity #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict
I’m thinking no drainage has caused some root rot. Try repotting the plant and checking the roots for any stringy / mushiness. Treat any affected roots by removing and using a hydrogen peroxide water mix yo clean the roots! Repot in a pot 2-3” bigger than the root ball (will likely be much smaller) than its current pot. Best of luck!! I hope it bounces back quickly and someone can identify this plant soon :)
@ChiefRedash53 daffodils have flat blade like leaves. These look more hollow-like, almost like a garlic chive etc. what else about it leads to believe it’s a daffodil, as from this one photo, I can’t tell? You can check the bulbs if needed. But daffodils would be dormant right now?

Like @Prentyce said.. make sure there’s drainage in the pot. But let me know if you have more questions
Thanks for the tag @Prentyce πŸ˜ƒ

I was thinking along the same lines as @TheOddAsity , definitely doesn't look like a daffodil and looks more like a type of onion or garlic. You'd definitely know if it was either of those just by the smell.

It looks very dried out in the photo. I know your plant card says it's in a pot without drainage, but typically terracotta pots have at least one drainage hole at the bottom. I'd double check just to be sure. If it doesn't, then yes you should definitely find a pot with drainage holes. It's very important for your plant's health. Like @Prentyce said, no drainage can lead to root rot. They also allow excess fertilizer and mineral buildup to be flushed from the soil.
@stephonicle I didn’t even think of the mineral build up!! A true genius 🀩✨πŸ₯³πŸ«‘🌱
@Prentyce aww shucks, I don't know about that! 😜Just passing along info other kind folks have shared with me along the way ☺️
