How do I get more blooms on daffodills?

I have about 8 clumps of daffodils across the front of my house, but only get maybe 2-3 flowers each plant. They are maybe 3-4 yr old clumps, in the sun, ferlized. What am I doing wrong? I see huge clumps in places I know never get attention, and bloom like crazy.

You have to pinch the buds off the plants when they first start budding, they will grow back but this time they will grow two instead of one. Let them bloom & then pinch off the bloom once its lived its live to promote more blooms. If you have a duck or bunny or worms use the water or casings to water them, best fertilizer you could ever have. I grew up in Illinois, my family had a huge green house. I learned S💞o💞o much.
The more you split the plants, the more the plants will grow. You could also try diluting a tablespoon of Epson Salt in a gallon of water. Pour this solution on the soil at the base of your plants. This process puts enzymes in the soil and plants flourish with it. You can repeat every 2 weeks. You can use this solution on any plants, veggies or flowers. Best of luck to you.
CONSIDER SPLITTING UP GROUPS AND REPLANTING WITH FRESH SOIL..
