Why do my daffodils buds dry up instead of blooming?

Daffodil buds may dry up instead of blooming due to several factors, including insufficient water, extreme temperatures, or pest infestations. Overwatering or poor drainage can also lead to bulb rot, preventing proper blooming. Additionally, if the bulbs are not planted at the correct depth or are too crowded, they may struggle to thrive. Ensuring proper care and conditions can help promote healthy blooms.
