The first thing to notice about carnation potting is to choose a high pot with a large inner diameter, and the mineral water bottle is not available. It can be planted in clay basin or purple sand basin. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have good drainage performance, but do not apply concentrated fertilizer. Carnation is best planted in a dry, well lit and well ventilated environment. Avoid high temperature and humidity. The optimum temperature is 19 ~ 21 ℃.
The suitable temperature for seed germination is about 20 ℃. The germination time is usually 10-15 days. Generally, carnation can bloom about 140 days after sowing, and its suitable growth temperature is between 5-20 ℃. If the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, the plant will stop growing or even die.
In addition, carnations can be propagated by cutting. When cutting, it is necessary to select the plants that are free of pests, robust and close to each other. Cutting time should generally avoid the hot summer stage, from late January to early February cutting effect is the best
For cuttings, you can choose the side branches about 8 cm long in the middle of the branch. When picking cuttings, you should take the side branches and break them down along the main branch, so that the cuttings have nodal marks, which is easier to survive. Cutting immediately after picking or soaking the cuttings with water before cutting. Cutting soil is general garden soil mixed with a small amount of rice husk ash or sandy soil.
After transplanting, we should often water to keep the humidity and do a good job of shading. The room temperature is 10-15 ℃, and it can take root in about 20 days. After one month, it can be transplanted and planted.
Through the above methods, I believe you have a certain understanding of the planting methods of carnations. We can try to cultivate beautiful carnations in early spring!
